Every year 300 million tons of plastic is manufactured globally, half of which is intended for single-use only = food wrappers, grocery bags, straws, plastic bottles, cups and cutlery - all items that we use for an average of 12 minutes before disposing of. 〰️ “We as a society need to consider whether it’s worth trading off some convenience for a clean, healthy environment.” ~ Roland Geyer via @natgeo 🌎 #BeTheChange #RefuseSingleUse #ReduceReuseRecycle #StopThePlasticTide
