💚🌍 Plastic-Free Living 🌍💚
Where Do I Startâť”
Let's be honest, living plastic-free is a journey that begins with a first step. A good place to start, is cutting down your single-use plastics by replacing them with sustainable alternatives.
As you start making changes, it is good to know that there is also
political will behind this. Last year the European Council adopted a
directive banning single-use plastic items including straws, food
containers and cotton bud sticks, in a bid to tackle marine litter.
So next time you have to choose between plastic and a sustainable
alternative, remember this statement:
“Single-use plastics that take five seconds to produce, you use it for
five minutes and it takes 500 years to break down again”.
