reduce your plastic footprint

Picture
We believe that plastic pollution can be solved. However, recycling is not enough. As a society, we need to focus on refusing single-use plastics and replacing them with sustainable, long-term alternatives. The good news is that there is an endless list of options, and EVERYONE can make a difference!

Below are lists of alternatives that can be used in place of plastic. Please note that these are merely options, and while we encourage everyone to adopt a more environmentally-friendly lifestyle, we also understand that not all options are viable for all people. Do what you can, and take it one step at a time! Small changes made by a lot of people truly add up. Every little bit helps.
