Join the movement

It will take a movement to make a sustainable impact large enough to slow down and reverse the effects of plastic waste mismanagement.

Movement : A campaign undertaken by a group of people working together to accomplish a goal.

Individually we must each start the process at home and daily.

United we will create the global change needed to shift from linear consumption models to a circular economy - this is order to solve the plastic waste epidemic.

How to start

Here, we list actions you can take to join the movement. They are orderd from eaiest to most involved so you can work your way through the list and help save the world at your own pace.
Remember, every action you take makes a differnce and contributes to the movement.
