Our Mission

We focus on how much single use plastic is offered in our county. It is important that we consider how much single use plastic waste is used daily to open the eyes of others to this sustainability issue. The first step to a problem is admitting it.  

 

Our grocery stores have indeed raised the price to ten cents a bag when packaging groceries to go home, some restaurants have made cardboard containers to go home with you, and some places have changed from plastic straws to paper . However, we can do more. We looked into the amount of plastic bags used when getting your fruits and vegetables from a grocery store, as well as plastic containers sent to go home from restaurants. Along with that the amount of plastic straws we use in just one day.

 

It is our mission to educate as many people as possible about single-use plastic and the harm it is doing to our environment. We would like to steer people away from disposable plastic in all of its forms and provide plastic-free alternatives to every product that poses a problem to our environment.

 

Are we perfect? No we are not. Of course we are striving for 100% plastic-free living, but as of right now it is not possible. However we are trying our best to work towards it. Our team has been continuously looking for alternatives in every way possible. One little change can make a huge difference. 

 

We would like to analyze the amount of single use plastic an average person goes through daily and suggest ways to change that, one person can influence the next just as we have as a team. 

 

Where do we go from here? The plastic-free movement has gained a lot of attention over the years however we still have a long way to go. It is understandable that every person has different perspectives, values and budgets. However getting rid of single use plastic can be beneficial to everyone. It helps with our environment entirely due to the greenhouse gases plastic manufacturers emit, such as carbon dioxide. It can save tons of money as well. It is all just about creating a new habit. Single use plastic has just become a bad habit that can be broken and that is what our team is trying our best to do. 

 

As a team we hope to provide our community with a clean and safe environment by tackling these sustainability issues one by one. We will implement more eco-friendly living styles and keep you all updated on how we plan to take down single-use plastic in our daily lives.
