Small actions can create big environmental change.
Tip: Carry a reusable bottle or shopping bag instead of using single-use plastics. It’s a simple habit that can reduce waste and protect our environment.

When will we acknowledge that industry's "voluntary" controls are a smokescreen to cover their continued bad acts? That only a small percentage of plastic is responsibly recycled?
