Avoid using personal care products that contain microbeads. Remember, microbeads are found in exfoliating scrubs, face wash, detergents, dish washing soap and creams. Look for “microbead-free” labels and choose products with natural exfoliants instead.
Stop using single-use plastic products which are often discarded within minutes of use. These invariably find their way into our soil and water.
Carry your own bottle of water and minimise use of products with plastic packaging.
Support citizen groups fighting for the effective implementation of plastic ban laws.
Support policies that aid alternative green technologies through subsidies and tax benefits.
Join and share anti-plastic campaigns and petititions, such as this.
