4. Stop ordering water bottles to your house!

Save your time and the earth and set up a water dispenser. Better yet, set up a filtered water system in your home. Check out @liquidoflifedxb, a local Dubai company providing patented, tested, and accredited drinking water filtration solutions in homes across the country.

3. Use a keep cup!

Treat yo’self to your morning coffee, but do it in an environmentally friendly way… Some local coffee spots will even give discounts to people using keep cups. Nice!

2. Cut out disposal cutlery

The easiest way to avoid using single-use plastics when you order takeout at work? Bring your own! If you have a stainless steel knife and fork at home, what’s stopping you bringing that to work with you? Bamboo cutlery is all the rage too, anything to avoid the plastic that finds its way to our oceans and threatens the life of our eco-system

1. Recycle your waste

IF you use plastic, make sure you dispose of it correctly. Keep your plastics separate from the rest of your waste and make sure you add it to the right bin. From your home, it gets transported to a recycling waste centre where it’s divied up (automatically and then manually) and finally the waste is repurposed for better use!
