It’s a difficult campaign to pledge to, and even more difficult to follow your pledge 100%.

It’s very easy to fail, especially for those that are not regular consumers of the 4 plastic items.

Straws simply are the most overused, underrated plastics. In a maximum number of
cases
, people would be able to consume their drink without the plastic
-
You often receive a straw with your drink even when you least expect it; very important to remember to remind that you do not need a straw while placing your order

People recognize the problem, but feel too big a challenge to avoid their consumption for a month. So challenging that they do not want to give it a try.
-
More solutions are needed if people have to reduce the plastic use. From a recycling and technological
perspective
,
there are
not enough transparent solutions.
-
The simplest solutions are what many already know: REDUCE and REUSE.
-
Reducing
the amount of
things we buy: be it bottled juices, cocktails that come with straws, or takeaway coffee.
-
Focus on reuse i.e. if you still have to buy stuff, try to use reusable containers.
