Millions Of Tons Of Plastic Are Dumped In The Ocean Every Year. We Don't Know Where Most Of It Ends Up

A researcher in the Rocky Mountains who studies RAIN found PLASTIC particles in the rain samples.

We are destroying our wonderful planet!

It's time to work individually to reduce our PLASTIC CONSUMPTION and push for a statewide ban and BOTTLE DEPOSITS.

Large containers can have DEPOSITS added to them.

Is there any logic to taking home a plastic bag that you either have to dispose of or recycle? REUSABLE BAGS simplify life.

Actually, we use CARDBOARD BOXES for all larger purchases.
They're just paper, recyclable or use them in your compost pile.
