WHY Take the Challenge?
Most people are unaware that plastic is a huge issue, not just to our planet, but our health.
Our Planet: Plastic will NEVER break down. 2oz. of plastic will ALWAYS be 2oz. of plastic & can only be down-cycled / up-cycled so many times.
Our Health: When plastic is used for food or skin care containers, there are health concerns because plastic can leach, especially when warmed up, making even natural products become full of toxic chemicals, and therefore, no longer natural.
Get Informed! Be part of the solution! Looking for more info on the plastics issue? Check out our INFO section.
Switch Ideas:
* Switch items with plastic material to more sustainable materials (glass, stainless steel, wood, ceramic, natural fabrics…).
* Buy some re-usable stainless steel or glass water bottles instead of plastic ones.
* Buy some re-usuable stainless steel or glass food containers.
* Buy some reusable bags so you can avoid plastic bags when shopping.
* Buy in BULK, taking your re-usable containers in to fill up.
These are just a few examples – there are lots of other possibilities. Be creative and have fun!
