TIP #19:
Say No to face wash, toothpaste, and other personal products with “polypropylene,” or
“polyethylene” in the ingredient list. These micro-plastics are polluting our magnificent oceans!
TIP #20:
Join a community clean-up group with your family, and help keep your neighborhood community, or other people’s communities, beautiful! Some clean-up organizations track the amount of waste collected to share with local politicians, who then have documented evidence to support the creation of new laws reducing the volume of trash in the community.
We thank you for playing your part, no matter how small,
in keeping our homes, communities, and planet clean and beautiful!
