Be waste wise method: 2 3 1 4 REPLACE PLASTIC WITH FANTASTIC what you need: Replace plastic with your fantastic bag each day. Record and measure your positive impact. Come prepared! Carry a cloth bag inside a school or handbag, or switch to a larger handbag for carrying small items, e.g. bakery, chemist, fruit shop etc. When you are offered plastic bags during the day, replace the plastic with your fantastic bag. “I’m an Enviroweek Waste Warrior, replacing plastic with my fantastic.” Record how many times you are offered plastic bags each day. Encourage your friends and family to be Waste Warriors and make a positive impact. ● Reusable bags, baskets, or recycled cardboard boxes ● Recycled paper to record your progress TIP: You will be surprised how quickly this adds up, e.g. a bakery uses paper bags, but offers plastic to carry your paper. The average shop of 70 items uses 10 plastic bags per week per family. Take your own for a healthy planet. FACT: YOUR POSITIVE IMPACT: Replacing 10 plastic bags saves 2.3 black balloons. In a year that’s 121 black balloons.
