Have you ever tried to eliminate plastic from your life? Even the smallest parts of it, for example, those in which your medicines or personal hygiene items are packaged. Try to imagine how much polyethylene is in your home - in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the bedroom, even on the balcony. Today, everyone knows that polyethylene pollutes the environment and harms health, but not everyone can give it up even for a short period of time.

Marianna Boyko took on this challenge and for 104 days refused to use the usual plastic things. How to do without plastic bags when shopping? How to solve problems with shampoos and cosmetics? What to do if the seller in the market persistently packs vegetables in a plastic bag and wonders: "Why, girl, it's free?" The author conducted her experiment in the Ukrainian reality and is happy to share tips on how not only to abandon the use of polyethylene, but also to become an active supporter of ecological consumption and help others realize the importance of reducing the amount of garbage on the planet.
