New York City is one of the most amazing cities in the country, and really in the world. However, there is a huge pitfall to New York and that is the amount of trash you can easily accumulate throughout a day in the city. If you want to cut down on your wastefulness in New York, this is the guide for you.

Reusable Cups

New Yorkers love their coffee, and when you’re there on vacation, there’s no doubt you’ll have a few cups yourself. But, in a lot of coffee shops, no matter if you’re taking it to go or having it there, you will get a disposable cup. This can get really wasteful, so instead, pack a cup from home so you can reuse them.

Pizza

Pizza is an inevitable part of coming to New York, and no matter where you go, it tastes delicious. However, if you want to be less wasteful, make sure you find a recycling bin after so you don’t make more waste from them.

Public Transport

New York traffic is no joke, and even if it’s the summer and it seems like too much work to take the bus or train, do your best to use public transit as much as you can to cut down on your carbon footprint.
