Of the 40M tons of plastic waste generated in the United States last year, only 2M was recycled — that’s only about 5-6%. This should be a wake-up call to the false promise that plastic recycling is a credible solution to plastic waste and pollution.

➡️What can we do?

"It’s time to implement real solutions, particularly the reduction of single-use plastic food service packaging that have the highest likelihood of polluting our environment.” It is time to shift to reusable solutions.

World Ocean Day ended yesterday, but that doesn't mean the work ends there. In the next few posts ➡️ we'd like to highlight the current situation in the ocean and our impact ⚠️.

Imagine a full truck of plastic is loaded into your backyard every day, let alone every minute 🕔. Unfathomable, right? Yet, an every day reality in the ocean. So why do we let this happen to the ocean? 🤷🏻

78M tons of plastic packaging produced annually is left to flow into our oceans🌊; the equivalent of pouring one garbage truck of plastic into the ocean every minute.

Comment below if you like swimming in an ocean full of plastic 👇🏻😤

Happy World Oceans Day 🌊 ...or is it really happy?

Our oceans provides 50% of the world's 🌎 oxygen and stores 50x more CO2 than our atmosphere.

As our main source of oxygen 🌬️, home to most of earth's biodiversity🐢 and key to our economy 🏙️, this is why it is so important to keep our oceans plastic free and why it is every person's responsibility to protect and care for it.

What do you do to keep our oceans clean? ✨
