2. Use a bamboo or metal straw and systematically refuse plastic straws.


3. For your purchases, use a cloth bag and refuse the plastic bags


4. When travelling, don't bring the following items in your luggage:

   • Products from animals such as crocodile teeth necklaces and turtle shell bracelets
   • Sand and shells
   • Counterfeit products
   • Regarding tobacco and alcohol please refer to the legislation of your destination country
