possible text for flyer

I was thinking about using the text we were given but I decided it was too long - and also not as relevant? I found 10 smaller things you can do, directly relating to plastic, which I wrote into 1-2 sentences. it also comes to about 270 words so it's just under what we need - but adding an intro bit should be fine.

1. Don’t use plastic bagsBring your own reusable bags to the supermarket. Remember bags for produce, as well! 2. Avoid plastic packagingDon’t buy items packaged in lots of unnecessary plastic. If you can, buy items packaged in cardboard instead - this is easier to recycle and biodegrades more easily. 3. Shop in bulkMost plastic waste is generated in the kitchen. Bring your own bags and containers and stock up on bulk foods 4. Reusable food storageUse reusable food storage containers instead of plastic wrap or ziploc bags, which often get thown out after one use.5. Don’t buy bottled waterInstead, keep a reusable drink bottle handy and fill it up at home - this is much cheaper in the long run! 

6. Bring your own coffee cupOnly 1% of disposable coffee cups get recycled. Not onl are the lids plastic, but the cups themselves are generally lined with a plastic resin. Bring your own reusable cup next time you buy coffee.

7. Say no to straws!Straws, plastic spoons, and other single use plastics are often unnecessary - and if you need them, bring a reusable one from home. 8. Avoid microbeadsMany facewashes, bodywashes and toothpastes contain tiny beads of plastic, which are too small to be filtered out of water. There are many other biodegradable options. 9. CompostOver 1/3 of kerbside rubbish is food scraps - composting it means you’ll use far less plastic rubbish bags. If you don’t have room, find out if there’s a community one nearby. 10. RecycleThere’ll always be some plastic you can’t avoid, so make sure you recycle it!
