#BeatPlasticPollution
World Environment day isn’t just a date- it’s a powerful reminder that our everyday choices matter.
This years theme #BeatPlasticPollution, is a global call to reduce our dependance on plastic and take meaningful action- from governments to our own households.
Here’s how you can get involved:
1. 🔍Do a plastic audit:
Take a look at your weekly waste and see where plastic is creeping in. Awareness is the first step to change.
2. ♻️Make the switch:
3. 🌱 Compost your scraps:
Food waste in landfill produces methane- a potent greenhouse gas.
Composting helps reduce emissions and nourishes the soil.
4. 🛍️Support local and low waste:
Shop at bulk stores, bring your own reusable bags and containers, and choose local produce whenever possible.
5. 📣Speak up and share:
Talk to friends, share your eco-swaps online, and keep the conversation going. Awareness drives collective action.
Why it matters:
Plastic pollution is chocking our oceans, harming wildlife and even entering our food and water. But change starts with us.
As consumers, we have power. The more we choose sustainable, plastic-free options, the more accessible and affordable they become – and the less demand there will be for plastic.
It’s simple economics: if we stop asking for plastic, brands will stop making it.
Together we can drive the shift to a cleaner, healthier planet.
Let’s #BeatPlasticPollution together 💚
