Microplastics - they are everywhere! Why are these tiny-sized plastics a serious problem for the environment? For starters, their size. Microplastics are plastic debris smaller than 5 millimeters. That is the size of an eraser on a pencil. Continue reading

 It’s easier to change our habits than to change corporations. We can choose to be more mindful consumers. One way to do this is to evolve into a circular way of consumption: we buy only the products that we need and make sure they’re made mindfully, and take care of them for use for the long-term. If we need products that are meant to be disposed of after some time for it to be the most effective, like a toothbrush, we can choose to buy ones that have the least impact on the planet, or, better yet, can be used by the planet again and again.

Blame it on the extended quarantine. Maybe it’s the lack of public places to go. Or is it the cooler mornings and nights creeping in that signal the changing of seasons to come.
