– Make conscious purchasing decisions!




Choose to be Plastic Free! Make the switch to reusable bags and bottles, say NO to plastic straws, and purchase products without microbeads or plastic packaging.

Carry your own reusable bag, cup and bottle wherever you goSay NO to plastic strawsMake conscious purchasing choices and select products without microbeads or plastic packaging


Plastic can be incredibly useful in making durable items like contact lenses and electronics, but it is also used to make products used just once then thrown away, like straws, take-out utensils, and plastic cups. Plastic does not biodegrade, it photodegrades into smaller and smaller pieces and can remain in the environment indefinitely.

When making purchases, you can make a choice to reduce your environmental impact. Join people around the world by taking action to turn the tide on ocean plastics with the UN Environment Clean Seas initiative. Seek out alternatives to the plastic items that you rely on. Choose to reuse when it comes to shopping bags and bottled water and bring your own reusable bags and beverage containers wherever you go.

Choose products, such as facial cleansers and cosmetics, that don’t contain plastic microbeads. Make your own DIY facial scrub and take action with the 5 Gyres Microbead Action Kit.  Say NO to plastic straws and take theOne Less Straw Pledge, or encourage your favorite restaurant to go straw free with resources from The Last Plastic Straw. Support the #StrawlessOceancampaign and their goal of removing 500 million straws in 2017.





Speak out for alternatives to single use plastics.

Support local and national policies and efforts to ban single use plastics Encourage businesses and restaurants to take responsibility for their plastic waste and packagingHost a screening of The Smog of the Sea and encourage friends to reduce plastic waste


Single-use plastic, such as the plastic used for water bottles, shopping bags, and packaging, is designed to be used for minutes or hours, yet can persist in the environment for hundreds of years. Plastic has been accumulating in the world's oceans since the 1950’s with studies showing marine litter is now 60-80% plastic.
