Many products we use in our everyday lives are wasteful, harmful for the planet, and contain toxic chemicals that we don't want to be using. But don't worry– this list can make switching out your products easy for you by giving you zero-waste, plastic-free options! You can use them for yourself or give them as gifts :)
There's only so much as individuals that we can do to stop plastic pollution, but when we join together we are so much stronger! Join a local group working to end plastic pollution, or start one! Visit Beyond Plastic's Take Action page to find local groups and get ideas for organizing events you can do to build momentum for ending plastic pollution.
We DO have influence over our legislators and businesses! Legislation such as the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act is crucial to supporting a zero-waste world. Writing a letter to the editor or talking to a local business can make a change in your community. Visit Beyond Plastic's Take Action page to make a difference. And, stay tuned for the release of Plastic Pollution Coalition's worldwide plastic legislation tracker.
There are so many great organizations out there fighting to end plastic pollution! Here are some great ones to consider donating to:
