Description

Cut down on buying clothing. See where you specifically use the most plastics..'" Carolynn Box, science programs director for the plastic pollution non-profit 5 Gyres, explained, ""I always encourage people to assess their 'plastic footprint' to identify where they use the most plastic. Most of the time, the biggest contributors will be single-use plastic items and plastic packaging. After better understanding your own plastic footprint, it's easier to know where to take the steps to make the biggest impact [in their routine]."
