Plastic doesn't stay on our tables
More than 8 million tonnes of plastic enter the oceans every year
Our oceans, the lifeblood of our planet, are choking on plastic pollution. A major culprit? Disposable plastic dinnerware! These plates, cups, and utensils, used for mere moments, can linger in our environment for centuries.
I refuse to be a part of the problem any longer!
Plastic doesn't biodegrade, it breaks down into microplastics that infiltrate our oceans, harming marine life and entering the food chain. This poses a serious threat to the health of our seas and ourselves.
Therefore, I take responsibility for reducing my plastic footprint. I declare that disposable plastic dinnerware is no longer welcome in my home.
🐟 Why should I reduce my plastic use?
