We know how convenient plastic is, but it is also quite wasteful. While recycling ♻️ sounds like a great solution and it does help protect Mother Nature. The reality is that recycling is sometimes not done properly. Many places do not even do it. Then those who recycle, are not sure if their efforts are reaching a recycling facility. According to studies around 9% reaches the recycling facilities, and the rest ends up in landfills or waterways and the ocean. 😢
Just think about what things can we all do to improve this plastic situation? Here are a few ideas to complement my friend’s post:
