We are literally drowning in unnecessary plastic: specifically, single use plastic items. Studies show we only use certain plastics like water bottles, grocery bags, coffee cups, straws for an average of six seconds before they are thrown away to sit in our landfills for hundreds of years and then can be released into our environment as microplastics! If you want to be a part of the change to reduce plastic in your life or go zero waste, check out some of these easy and affordable swaps for single use items in your kitchen and bathroom. In this video I will recommend 3 plastic free items that can substitute for common single use items in the house. The links to these products are here in the description as well.
