Use Less Plastic

• At the rate were going, the growing impact of
  plastic pollution on our oceans will be one of
  the big disaster stories of this century.
• Try to figure out ways you can use less plastic,
  especially plastic storage bags.
• This type of plastic is easy for wildlife to
  swallow and eventually causes death.
• Plastic factories also deliver much of the
  pollution that is not bio-degradable.

• Simply say no to bottled water!
• It is convenient to drink bottled water, but the
  environmental impact of bottled water plastic is
  huge!
• Over 1.5 billion tons of plastic water bottles
  end up in U.S. landfills each year.
• It takes over 300 years for plastic to degrade.

• Up to 40 percent of all bottled waters are merely
  re-processed tap water.
• A much healthier and less expensive solution to
  bottled water is to invest in refillable glass
  water bottles or stainless steel water bottles
  and fill them with filtered drinking water.
