Making some great progress on the office 😎

According to John Torkelson at Northwestern University, approx 800 billion lbs of polymers and plastics are produced annually around the globe. That's right, it's about 100 lbs of plastics per person per year!
Check out the resources about our global plastic problem at The Story of Stuff Project -- lots of excellent case studies on reducing plastic production that are beneficial to people and planet as well as accessible to all.
