Stopping our plastic problem starts with a single step.
What is Step 1?
Plastic and petrochemical pollution is a big problem. The petrochemical industry produces more plastic than we could ever need, and they have plans to expand exponentially, flooding communities with toxic chemicals. This is not just an issue in our oceans and environments—it’s a justice issue, a health issue, and a human rights issue. Petrochemicals have leached into every corner of our world: in our water, our food, our makeup, our clothes, our air, and even in our bodies. And it's killing us. In a single year, there were more than 350,000 heart-related deaths linked to a single petrochemical additive.
The problem is serious—but it's not insurmountable. And while every person's journey is different, your journey starts with a first step, and it starts today.
What’s your Step 1?

Reuse Bottles
One person switching to a reusable bottle saves up to 1,460 plastic bottles annually.
