How To Combat The Massive Single-Use Plastic Problem

In case you didn’t know, only nine-percent of the plastic produced, including what we toss in our bins, is actually recycled. That’s why the battle against single use plastic is on. Only plastic marked with a 1 or 2 are actually recycled and 5 is iffy. Things that aren’t recycled include: plastic tableware, milk cartons, plastic straws, wax coated coffee cups, plastic wrap, and juice boxes.

Here’s how to help fight the single use plastic problem:

  • Say no to bottled water
  • Use your reusable grocery bags
  • Choose paper (or no) packaging over plastic
  • Buy in bulk to reduce plastic waste
  • Refuse plastic cutlery
