Earth Day 2024: Plastics & Particles That Pollute The Planet

Happy Earth Day from our family to yours!

We are here to remind everyone that not every easy, convenient, or quick choice is worth is when the planet is at stake.

Plastic is no joke! Here’s why:

1. Ubiquitous Presence: It’s everywhere – from your morning routine to bedtime.

2. Daily Ingestion: Without caution, you’re likely ingesting or washing plastics down the drain every single day.

3. Microplastic Pollution: Washing synthetic clothes, using plastic sponges, or discarding single-use packaging contributes to microplastics in waterways.

4. Forever Chemicals: Many plastics harbor ‘forever chemicals’ linked to cancer, infertility, and hormonal disruption.

This Earth Day, let’s act: – Uncover the truth about plastics. – Learn how to break free from their grip. -Make smart solutions inside and outside of our home. -Inform our neighbors and loved ones. – Protect our planet and health together.
