It is mind boggling how much plastic we go through in any given day, week or month. Here are 5 Easy Ways to Go Plastic Free.

It is those little things – that straw in your drink? That take-away salad bowl? That little bag you got at the market? That $1 bottle of water your grabbed on the way to work? All plastic, ALL.

We have produced more plastic in the last 10 years than we did in the last century. And what’s more, every bit of plastic ever made exists somewhere in the world. Because plastic never biodegrades, it just never dies.

Some of them will be buried in the landfill; others will be floating around the sea, choking our animals, entering our water and our systems, blocking our waterways… And what is scary is how dependent today’s generation is on plastic. It is everywhere!
