About this event
Amid the backdrop of an international health crisis and economic turmoil as painful consequences of COVID-19, there has also been a lot of much-welcomed news of reduced carbon emissions, cleaner water sources and sightings of rare animals cavorting in city streets. While it is great to see nature healing and rebounding during this time, we also need to keep in mind that increased worldwide plastic usage is also one of the side effects. Staying inside has increased food and grocery deliveries, causing a surge in the number of takeaway boxes, plastic bags and plastic utensils we use. Supply chains are being strained to meet a surge in demand for single-use packaging and medical supplies.

It is important that we understand that this is not an an all-or-nothing decision. Begin by taking small steps to reduce our waste and you’ll be surprised by the substantially positive effects on both the environment and yourself.
