THE PROBLEM WITH SINGLE-USE PLASTIC

Описание: What is single-use plastic? Those are items that are made from plastic and that are only used once (or for a very short period of time). So they have a very short lifespan but after they are discarded they end up in the landfill. It takes most plastic items for more than 400 years to decompose. The landfill grows, the ocean is littered with plastic and there is a more and more negative impact from plastic pollution. And this can be easily solved by introducing a reusable eco-friendly alternative.

🌿 ABOUT ME

My name is Stella, I am based in California, but originally I am from Russia. I create videos on sustainability, conscious consumption, eco brands, and all things related to a (zero) low waste lifestyle. I don't consider myself a hardcore eco-blogger, I am a real person trying to figure out how to be sustainable and still enjoy life. My other interests are: being outdoors, surfing, exploring new places and new foods, cooking, plants, embroidery, books & geeking out on productivity hacks to cope with my add tendencies ;-)
