Humans don’t have a pollution problem, they have a design problem.

Recycling doesn't work. The world is inundated with tons of plastic waste that we can't reuse because the companies that make products decided that convenience outweighed the needs of the planet. The Loop system, introduced by Terracycle at the World Economic Forum hopes to change that by encouraging consumers to order their favourite products online in reusable containers and then send them back to the manufacturer, aka, the Milkman. But will it really work?

How Much Is Enough?

How much do I need to do in my life to have an positive impact on the environment? How can I live a zero waste lifestyle and still have time for my life? Why do individuals have to bear the burden of being eco-friendly.

Let's join the movement to #breakfreefromplastic.
