It’s never too late to make a change. You might not be able to avoid plastic in your life forever, but there are ways you can reduce its impact on the environment and save some money at the same time. In this section, we write about Zero Waste Basics: what it is and how it benefits the planet!
Over the past 60 years, the production of plastics has increased 20-fold and we now produce more than 380 million tons of plastic each year. With so much of it around, we’re forced to put a huge portion of that plastic into landfills and unfortunately, this is just the beginning.
In this day and age, you’ve probably heard the terms “vegetarian”, “plant-based”, or “vegan” thrown around quite often, or perhaps you have a family member or friend who identifies as one.
We all hear about how our oceans and waterways are polluted with plastic and other forms of trash, but the chances are that you or anyone you know throws their waste in the sea.
