Many know that there are literally islands of plastic building up in oceans off of India, and that if we don't course correct, the amount of plastics in our oceans could increase by one degree of magnitude.
Yet many of feel helpless. How can we as individuals stop such a megalith of an industry that is constantly generating thousands of tons of plastics on a regular basis? Like any countermovement, it begins with small steps.
The average American disposes of 185 pounds of plastic per year. If this figure strikes you, it should also encourage us that we as individuals can make a change in our own life.

Help be a part of the change.
