One of my goals from 2019 that I plan to carry into 2020 is to use less single-use plastic. It’s honestly harder than it should be to avoid because it basically eliminates half of the grocery store while shopping and even really simple things come wrapped in plastic for no reason.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While avoiding single-use plastics while grocery shopping can definitely be a challenge there are some really simple changes that you can make that actually make a HUGE difference. The biggest one? Stop using single-use plastic water bottles. While I have been using a reusable water bottle for many years now the one place I still found this to be tricky is traveling (especially to places who don’t have clean drinking water on tap).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That is one of the reasons I love the lifestraw GO Water bottle. lifestraw’s technology filters out up to at least 99% of waterborne bacteria and contaminants making it the perfect travel companion. I love that I can drink safely from sinks in developing countries as well as lakes and streams when I’m out hiking.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also LOVE that for every product purchased lifestraw provides clean drinking water for a year to a child in need! So not only is purchasing a LifeStraw Go Water bottle go for the planet as a whole it makes a HUGE impact in the life of someone in need. For more info on lifestraw products and mission check out my stories or head over to their website!

Anyone else adding “using less single-use plastics” to their New Year’s resolution list? #lifestraw #sponsored
