Eco-friendly products that can help you swap out single-use plastics for good

Only a small percentage of our planet바카라 게임 웹사이트™s plastics are actually recycled. Here바카라 게임 웹사이트™s how to not be a part of this growing problem.

It's no exaggeration to say that our single-use plastic consumption has gotten out of control. According to the EPA, , while only 3 million tons were recycled. And this does not account for the staggering amounts of unprocessed litter on land and in our waterways and oceans.

It's difficult to grapple with one's own impact on the environment. Although small changes can seem futile in the face of the thrown away each year, this change has to start on an individual level. Thinking about the disposable products that we use in our everyday lives can help us make better choices as consumers.

These 30 eco-friendly products were picked to replace throwaway items that would otherwise remain buried on our planet for hundreds of years, if not longer. Buying smarter is by no means the only way to make a difference, but it's a good first step to take. Read on to see how easy it can be to make the switch.
