#OceanFirst Tip No. 7: Avoid plastic packaging at the store.
Avoid pre-cut/pre-packaged items — opt for your own reusable bags. When you do need to purchase something prepackaged, choose recyclable materials like glass, aluminum, and cardboard/paper boxes.
Cleaning the ocean is only half of our mission. Educating communities on how to first refuse single-use plastics, or at least properly dispose of waste, is the other half.⠀
