You never need to use another plastic bottle, single-use cup, fork, or bag again for the rest of your life. Try this challenge: go for a week without using those things. However far you make it, I bet you'll find it easier and rewarding than you expect. The goal doesn't have to be to fix all the world's problems by yourself overnight, just a new experience. It will probably lead to institutional and government change faster than not acting and it costs nothing anyway. Everyone I know who has tried has continued because they enjoyed the experience. If you live in Flint or some place similarly polluted and need the bottles you can still do the experiment.
