THE PROBLEM WITH PLASTIC
The amount of plastic existing our oceans is mind-boggling. Over 18 billion pounds is discarded into our climate-regulating, oxygen-producing, beautiful oceans each year. Is there any wonder why alarming photos of dead ocean life with bellies full of plastic are making headline news?
FOLLOW THE LEADERS
2018 brought more media exposure to the problem and more companies stepped up to reduce their plastic waste. Starbucks announced they’ll remove plastic straws from their stores in 2020. Disney followed in a similar fashion. More cities stepped up to ban plastic grocery bags. 2018 was a huge step in the right direction. While it’s great that big companies are making changes to reduce their impact, there’s so much that individuals can do to make a difference, too. From toting reusable grocery bags, to hydrating with a reusable water bottle – these small changes can add up to big results. And it’s easier than ever to look good and feel good while doing it!
