Day 21 of our RETHINK Instagram challenge! #OnlineShopping Look at all this plastic packaging that was used by one company to ship a STICKER!!! In 2016 the U.S. Postal Service delivered 5.2 billion packages. How many do you think had plastic packaging like this? Alternatives exist, like these cardboard packing ‘peanuts’. Next time you buy something online, request that the company avoid plastic and try to choose companies that already offer packaging alternatives. #CoastalPWF #rethink #nosingleuseplastic #ecofriendly #workplace #worksustainably #ecofriendlyworkplace #ecoconsious #saveourseas #oceanconservancy #protectwhatyoulove #oceanhealth #zerowastelife #saynotoplastic #marineconservation #protectouroceans #saveouroceans #marinewildlife #protecttheocean #cleanoceans #discoverocean #marinelife #oceanpollution #sustainability #packaging
Day 20 of our RETHINK challenge leading up to International Coastal Cleanup Day #Lunch Pack your lunch in a steel or glass container to avoid adding unwanted microplastics to your meal! You can various options in our Ocean Stores, like this steel container. #CoastalPWF #rethink #nosingleuseplastic #ecofriendly #workplace #worksustainably #ecofriendlyworkplace #ecoconsious #saveourseas #oceanconservancy #protectwhatyoulove #oceanhealth #zerowastelife #saynotoplastic #marineconservation #protectouroceans #saveouroceans #marinewildlife #protecttheocean #cleanoceans #discoverocean #marinelife #oceanpollution #sustainability
Day 17 of our RETHINK Instagram challenge! #Traveling How do you reduce single-use products when you travel? We have a number of suggestions for you! Bring your own headphones when you fly so you avoid using the airlines, which come in plastic packaging; use bar products or make your own dissolvable shampoo/conditioner strips by absorbing the product with tissue paper (https://bit.ly/2kdNSzJ); carry a reusable travel kit with you like the one we have in our Ocean Stores that includes utensils, a straw, a cloth napkin, a produce or snack bag, and shopping bag; and lastly, bring your own reusable water container, as almost all airports now have water bottle refill stations. #CoastalPWF #rethink #nosingleuseplastic #ecofriendly #workplace #worksustainably #ecofriendlyworkplace #ecoconsious #saveourseas #oceanconservancy #protectwhatyoulove #oceanhealth #zerowastelife #saynotoplastic #marineconservation #protectouroceans #saveouroceans #marinewildlife #protecttheocean #cleanoceans #discoverocean #marinelife #oceanpollution #sustainabilityonthego
Day 18 of our RETHINK challenge leading up to International Coastal Cleanup Day #Snacking Ditch those single-use plastic ziplocs and opt for these cute resealable paper bags found in our Ocean Stores instead! You can also try silicone, which is actually not plastic, reusable zip bags or pack snacks like apples and oranges that come in their own packaging. #CoastalPWF #rethink #nosingleuseplastic #ecofriendly #workplace #worksustainably #ecofriendlyworkplace #ecoconsious #saveourseas #oceanconservancy #protectwhatyoulove #oceanhealth #zerowastelife #saynotoplastic #marineconservation #protectouroceans #saveouroceans #marinewildlife #protecttheocean #cleanoceans #discoverocean #marinelife #oceanpollution
