BECOME AN AGENT OF CHANGE
The future is looking pretty scary for the world as we know it. Our planet's natural resources are shrinking at an accelerating rate and there are currently 50,000,000,000+ plastic bottles in landfills around the globe. This horrifying number becomes even more alarming when you realize that these bottles having been finding their way into our oceans for decades. In fact, 1,000,000 sea birds and 100,000 marine animals perish each year by consuming our plastic debris.
