WTF: Plastic Pandemic *Partnered With Habits Of Waste*
If you remember back in April, I shared a WTF video with Final Founder Emma Rose Cohen about plastic. Well today, I want to continue that discussion, because a lot has happened since then and it’s not good.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic began single use plastic has surged!
Almost 50 single-use item reduction policies have gone into effect nationwide
Increased demand single-use personal protective equipment, such as masks and plastic gloves, many ending up discarded on streets.
A whole lot of ordering in and a whole lot of plastic!
“ I feel it is vitally important that we do not let the impact Covid-19 has had on human health be used as an excuse to further damage the health of our plant.”
BUT, in June over 100 scientists signed a letter saying that reusables are safe!
