No more plastic pollution!

Next Sunday, April 22, is Earth Day 2018, with a focus this year on ending plastic pollution.

Around 300 million tons of plastic are produced each year to make bags, bottles, packaging and other commodities for people all over the world. Unfortunately, only about ten percent of this plastic is properly recycled and reused.

Why not spend time this weekend working out ways your household could reduce plastic: whether it’s no more plastic shopping bags, straws or food containers, drinking only from glass bottles or avoiding plastic-wrapped produce, ask Do I need it, and Can I use something else?
