Plastic pollution is becoming a serious problem. After only being introduced in the 1950s, plastic has already taken over the planet.

Most of us can't get through a day of life without touching or coming into contact with some kind of plastic... But is it all really necessary?

Of course, many of us need cell phones and computers, but do we really need to grab that single-use plastic cup, top and straw from the drive-thru every day?

We can't all do everything, but we can all do something... There are many simple choices we can make every day to reduce our impact on the planet.
