JOIN ALTA PLASTICS IN LIVING GREEN – PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT WITH THE SMALLEST ACTIONS

Each of us can contribute to environmental protection through small changes in our daily habits. Guided by our commitment to sustainable development and social responsibility, Alta Plastics shares seven dos and seven don’ts to help you live greener, cleaner, and more sustainably. Let’s act for the future of our planet and ensure a healthy environment for generations to come.

The Earth is sounding the alarm. Manifestations of climate change, air pollution, plastic waste, and natural habitat degradation are becoming increasingly severe. Yet amid this alarming reality, there is still much we can achieve if we, as modern individuals, embrace change together. Environmental protection is not solely the responsibility of governments or large organizations; it is a mission for every individual, every family, and every business. With our mission to build a sustainable future, Alta Plastics believes that every small action has a significant impact. Here are seven dos and seven don’ts you can start applying today to help reduce negative environmental impacts.

✅ 7 Things you should do to protect the environment:

1. Properly reuse and recycle

Sort waste at the source, and reuse bottles, fabric bags, and containers instead of buying new ones. Using these items multiple times significantly reduces the amount of waste generated.

2. Prioritize eco-friendly products

Choose products made from recycled materials, biodegradable items, or those produced by brands with clear environmental-protection policies.

3. Bring your reusable shopping bags

Plastic bags pollute soil and waterways. Using your own fabric or mesh bags helps cut down on hard-to-degrade waste.

4. Use energy- and water-saving appliances

Turn off lights and air conditioners when not in use; choosing appliances with energy-efficiency ratings is a simple yet effective way to conserve natural resources.

5. Plant trees and protect green spaces

Cây xanh không chỉ làm đẹp không gian sống mà còn lọc không khí, giảm tiếng ồn và bảo vệ sự đa dạng sinh học.

6. Limit private vehicle use

Walking, cycling, or using public transport reduces CO₂ emissions and boosts personal health.

7. Share green knowledge and actions

Be an inspiration to family, friends, and your community —together, we can live green for a healthier planet.

❌ 7 Things you shouldn’t do to harm the environment:

1. Do not litter indiscriminately

Even a seemingly small act, like tossing a candy wrapper onto the street, can lead to major problems: clogged drains, water pollution, and damage to local ecosystems.

2. Avoid single-use plastics

Items like plastic straws, cups, and spoons last only minutes in use but take centuries to decompose. Say no to disposable plastic products.

3. Don’t overuse harsh cleaning chemicals

Powerful detergents often contain toxins harmful to groundwater and aquatic life. Opt instead for biodegradable, naturally derived cleaners.

4. Never idle your engine during long stops

This habit wastes fuel and emits harmful pollutants. Turn off your engine if you expect to wait..

5. Do not burn waste openly

Smoke from burning trash contains toxic compounds like dioxins and furans, which damage respiratory health and severely pollute the air.

6. Refrain from destroying or disturbing natural habitats

Don’t cut down trees, capture wild animals as pets, or take souvenirs from nature during trips. The natural world is not for exploitation.

7. Don’t ignore environmental warnings

If you witness actions that harm the environment, don’t hesitate to speak up or report them to the authorities—silence only worsens pollution.

Protecting the environment doesn’t require grand gestures, only small, consistent changes in thought and action daily. At Alta Plastics, we are committed to developing sustainable plastic products and partnering with our customers and communities to build a greener future.

Start today. Start with yourself. Every right action is a building block for a sustainable planet.
