The Problem
"Due to poor waste management systems around the world, the majority of plastic packaging that is sent to landfills ends up in our natural environments. 8 million tons of plastic are dumped in the ocean every year. Plastic pollution
threatens wildlife, alters ecosystems, and poses risks to human health. Reducing the production of plastic packaging would decrease the chance of such damage. "
Plastic packaging is a massive environmental problem. On average, Amazon sells over $410 million worth of products every single day, and considering that Amazon utilizes plastic in the majority of its packaging, their
shipping, and delivery practices are not sustainable. When you shop using Amazon or eBay you are contributing to the problem.
