#MARK320 Hi everyone! I have decided to undertake a behaviour change journey - reducing plastic bottle waste. I will do this by cutting the amount of plastic bottles I buy as well as increasing recycling!

[Jovan Gasoski @JGasoski]

I can safely say this has been a positive and successful experience and one which is easy to maintain even after this assessment is concluded.

#MARK320 In this thread, I would like to now reflect on the past 5 weeks of my behaviour change journey and give my thoughts on its benefits in context of social marketing and a self assessment on how I went 🧵

[Jovan Gasoski @JGasoski]

It was difficult to maintain the activity when I was out of the house; however, I tried bringing my reusable bottle everywhere I went and always bought recycled/cardboard bottles if I needed to.

#MARK320 needed some water today while I was out and I bought a carton 😊 feels good to help the world in a small way

#MARK320 Don’t be this person 😅

[Jovan Gasoski @JGasoski]

#MARK320 In the past week i’ve only used a single plastic bottle! I’m down in my weekly usage by 75% 😁

[Jovan Gasoski @JGasoski]

#MARK320 Aluminium is an infinitely recyclable material, and cardboard is easily recycled because its made out of wood fibres. There are greener options for drinking water like the products below if you don’t like carrying around a refillable bottle 🙌🏻

#MARK322 Got a new fridge with a water dispenser! Less plastic bottles, less headaches 🙌🏻

@AnnaleiseBetts wow!

#MARK320 Hi Twitter! Did you know that, according to the WWF, roughly 600 million plastic bottles enter the environment each year in Australia. However, a new report suggests this pollution can be halved by adopting a few simple strategies. Learn more: https://t.co/CskveY6BLM

@rach_sleeps go rachael! you can do it 😄

[Jovan Gasoski @JGasoski]

@es8224 Yes! I think this is a great incentive to get people to recycle - not only does it reimburse the cost of plastics to some extent, its also better for the environment.

[Jovan Gasoski @JGasoski]

#MARK320 I’ve begun collecting plastic bottles (as well as cans and cartons) in a separate sack along with regular recyclables in order to properly dispose of them ♻️

[Jovan Gasoski @JGasoski]

@rach_sleeps coffee is gross! glad you kicked it hahaha

[Jovan Gasoski @JGasoski]

#MARK320 Hey everyone! quick poll; How many plastic bottles would you say you go through in a week?

[Jovan Gasoski @JGasoski]

#MARK320 If, on occasion, i’m forced to buy plastic bottles (for example, when i’ve forgotten my refillable), I opt for bottles which are made out of recycled materials #GoGreen

[Jovan Gasoski @JGasoski]

#MARK320 Everyone gets thirsty when they train! But instead of going through 2 plastic water bottles per session, I bought a 2L refillable bottle made out of recycled plastics. Not only is this cheaper in the long run, its also more environmentally friendly :)
