Changing Habits

Change starts with you, and curbing your plastic consumption is the simplest way to start. Try eliminating plastic-bottled beverages from your diet, using alternatives to plastic grocery bags, and choose items that use less packaging.

Properly recycling everything you can is a great help as well.

Spreading the Word

In order for causes like this to gain traction, it is absolutely neccessary for supporters to share the information with friends, family, even strangers!

For the later option, we’ve provided handy print-outs that can be used to distribute the message in a number of ways, including as stickers, business cards, and posters.
