“Plastic is found in the water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breathe, the soil below us, and even inside of our bodies, blood and organs.”

What can you do?
More than 40% of all plastic made is used for packaging, which is used only once before being thrown away. The most effective way to reduce waste is to not create it in the first place, so focus on reducing your waste as much as possible. Here are just a few small ways to limit plastic pollution.
Bring your own reusable bag to the store, and try to buy items with minimal packaging.
Use reusable water bottles, containers and utensils instead of disposable ones.
Instead of buying individually packaged snacks and drinks, buy in bulk and use your own small, reusable containers.
