Plastic Facts
481 billion
plastic bottles are used around the world every year.
60 million
plastic bottles end up in United States landfills every day.
1000 years
is how long it takes for a plastic bottle to decompose in a landfill.

Most of the damage we cause to the planet is the result of our own ignorance.
By Yvon ChouinardThe Recycling Myth
Although recycling is a good start to living more sustainably, here are a few facts you should know before throwing trash in the recycle bin.
91% of plastic intended to be recycled actually ends up in landfills.
78% of the United State's recycling is shipped to other countries to manage. Since the demand for recycled goods has decreased and the cost to recycle has increased, much of that waste ends up in landfills.
Most of the "biodegradable" single use plastics will only degrade under specific high-temperature conditions and are one of the leading causes of ocean pollution.
We don't need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.
