Taking Action
Opportunities for an individual to get involved are present within each of these organizations and many others and plenty of resources are available for making smart, ecological decisions with consumer products:
The ERA provides a map of depots which allow drop offs for recycling of old electronics, and can also perform scheduled pick ups on their websites.
Ocean Conservancy accepts volunteers for and sends emails regarding waste sweep and conservation events on coastlines.
Websites like The Good Trade lists sustainable clothing brands and materials which avoid environmentally detrimental fast fashion trends: https://www.thegoodtrade.com/features/sustainable-clothing-fabrics
