Plastic pollution can alter habitats and natural processes, reducing ecosystems' ability to adapt to climate change, directly affecting millions of people's livelihoods, food production capabilities and social well-being.

reduce the amount of clothes i purchase

use reusable products that dont create waste

Balloons contribute to our plastic pollution problem. Although balloons only take moments to release, they could take hundreds of years to biodegrade. Over time, these balloon pieces get smaller and smaller and eventually turn into microplastics. Balloons also harm marine life because they're often ingested by animals.

i am making my community look better

most single use plastics are how items are packaged in stores. prevent this by purchasing different options

not difficult i already own reusable bags i keep in my car

yes paper straws are more common

can start by eliminating the use of plastic utensils in the office

the most difficult part is taking the extra step in my day to deliver recyclables to local drop offs
