Leafy

The short answer
More plastic reaches the ocean when waste is badly designed, badly collected or left loose in the environment. The answer is prevention first.
10:00Beach clean-ups matter. But the best ocean plastic is the plastic that never gets there.
10:03Stop the leak before arguing about the mop.
The useful order
Use less unnecessary plastic. Reuse more. Design packaging for real collection systems. Improve waste collection where it is weak.
10:11Then recycle what can genuinely be recycled. Recycling is useful, but it is not a permission slip to make endless rubbish.
10:19The kitchen link
Food-waste routines are small, but they teach the right habit: put the right thing in the right place.
10:27If you want compostable caddy liners for that routine, use the live Shopify range: shop Generation earth.
