Use Less Plastic

  • At the rate were going, the growing impact of
    plastic pollution on our oceans will be one of
    the big disaster stories of this century.
  • Try to figure out ways you can use less plastic,
    especially plastic storage bags.
  • This type of plastic is easy for wildlife to
    swallow and eventually causes death.
  • Plastic factories also deliver much of the
    pollution that is not bio-degradable.

  • Simply say no to bottled water!
  • It is convenient to drink bottled water, but the
    environmental impact of bottled water plastic is
    huge!
  • Over 1.5 billion tons of plastic water bottles
    end up in U.S. landfills each year.
  • It takes over 300 years for plastic to degrade.

5
  • Up to 40 percent of all bottled waters are merely
    re-processed tap water.
  • A much healthier and less expensive solution to
    bottled water is to invest in refillable glass
    water bottles or stainless steel water bottles
    and fill them with filtered drinking water.
