Reduce the Use of Plastics

Plastics harm our environment in a variety of ways. Most plastics are produced from fossil fuels. Recycling rates for plastics are low and the recycling process uses energy, water and other resources. Plastics take centuries to biodegrade and are a threat to the health of our oceans. You can make a difference by reducing the use of plastics in your daily life.
