The Problem

People do not understand the amount of petroleum used in plastics. Our precious non-renewable resources are being depleted and everyone hears we must recycle, but we forget to explain the process and the why! Plastic packaging dominates our stores shelves. The facts are staggering. Enough saran wrap to wrap the moon. Enough plastic is produced in the US yearly to equal the weight of 100 elephants. If everyone in the world would recycle one plastic milk jug we could make 6,287,832 plastic park benches.

Plan of Action

EDUCATE - EDUCATE - EDUCATE! Since adults have long turned their heads to the problem, targeting the same little eyes open - ears listening consumers that toy companies believe in is just what is proven to work.
