Become the Kanye West of Understanding Sustainability.
Ethics that go beyond the fulfilment of the basic human need are unique to every aspect of societal development. One of such aspects is the modern society's confrontation with the challenge of depleting natural resources, intense market competition and the effects of climate change; the majority of that lot chooses to ignore and proceeds to satiate their insatiable greed of consumption. Ranging from the wardrobe overflows to eating a daily diet full of microplastics—the world has familiarized itself with terms like 'ethical shopping' and 'sustainable choices' without actually understanding any of them.

Benefits of Reusable Shopping Bag
Single-use of plastics or non-reusable plastic bags has caused enough exposure for inescapable pollution problems for decades on our planet. As time passes more and more people have begun to understand the serious threat of using non-biodegradable plastic bags and have cut down the use of the same. As plastic is made from extracts of natural minerals and crude oil, it can not be disposed of completely from our natural habitat and lacks recyclability. They take many years to decompose causing additional contamination to the world’s well-being. On the other hand, the use of reusable bags can help in avoiding recycling problems, are easily disposed of, and are biodegradable in nature.

Use Less Plastic
According to unep.org, around 300 million tons of plastic waste is produced each year, and that around 60% of that plastic waste has either entered the natural environment or a landfill due to it being disposed of improperly. According to em-solutions.co.uk, 50% of plastic materials are single-use, meaning that after one time this harmful plastic already gets thrown away instead of being reused. However, the usage of this much plastic has dire consequences that could compromise the safety of our planet. The usage of plastic contributes greatly to the growing issue of climate change, and by slowing down the usage of plastic we can help prevent climate change from making our planet irreversibly doomed.
