How to Solve Plastic Pollution with Minimalism
This article offers practical solutions to the Plastic Crisis, with data you never thought possible.

Being pragmatic about it is important.
Indeed, what we’re dealing with here (mostly) is single-use plastic items such as plastic cutlery, plastic cups, plastic-wrapped fruits and veggies, plastic bottles (water, condiments, soap), plastic bags etc.
