BYOF (Bring Your Own Fork) featuring the Hill family!
The Hill's (John, Yan, and Matthew) are our good friends. One day, we met them for lunch at a BBQ place. Yan pulled out silverware in a ziplock bag from her purse so that their family did not need to use the plastic forks and spoons offered by the restaurant. Such a small action with a big impact! We will follow their example!
Ditch Plastic and Switch to Reuse
Ditch Plastic and Switch to Reuse
Plastic never goes away. At least 14 million tons of it ends up in the ocean annually, making up 80% of all marine debris. Every year thousands of seabirds, sea turtles, seals and other marine mammals are killed after ingesting plastic or getting tangled up in it. You can start cutting down on your plastic waste in a few simple steps: Use reusable bags when you shop, ditch single-use water bottles, bags and straws, and avoid products made from or packaged in plastic whenever possible (e.g., select unwrapped produce at the grocery store). Switch from single-use to reusable products every chance you get — every piece of plastic avoided is a win for the planet.
