Did you know that globally, we send two billion tonnes of waste to landfill every year?! Now more than ever, it's clear that being a conscious consumer is about so much more than just avoiding plastic. Really, what we should be cheering on is an overall reduction of waste in general. 💚🌎
Plastic has a bad reputation because we produce and throw away so much of it! 300 million tonnes of plastic every year, in fact. How much gets used once before it’s sent to landfill? 50%. 🤯
Eliminating single-use plastics such as bags, food wrap, take away cups and straws are easy wins. But choosing products that you won’t have to put into landfill (plastic or otherwise) is even better.
