I think a way to reduce throwing away so much plastic bags and water bottles is by reusing them or simply when we go to the store bring our own bag so we don't buy one and end up trowing it away or when we go shopping if theres something you can carry of a while with out having to buy a bag then you should do that. With water bottles instead of recycling them all the time we can reuse them or just buy a water bottle at a store that you can refill it with any liquid you want when you want instead of having to stop at a store every time and having to buy a new water bottle and just throwing it away after.
