Our team has sought different alternatives to reduce plastic consumption, specifically plastic S.C Johnson Ziploc plastic bags for storage. We believe that plastic pollution is harming the environment for far too long. In our campaign, we fight to change this environmental injustice for the future of our planet. We hope that we can inform you and inspire you to join our movement as you shop for essentials items. 
Plastic is a major contributor to global pollution, which occurs when plastic is burned and dumped into the oceans. When inhaled, polluted air has a direct impact on humans and animals. Aside from this, another way that plastic pollutes the environment is when it is dumped into the ocean. When a large amount of litter ends up in the ocean, it kills sea creatures trapped in it and harms the ecosystem. What's more concerning is that plastic thrown into the ocean breaks down into smaller pieces, which are consumed by sea animals and eventually end up in our food.
