What we throw out goes back into our food supply. Everything runs in a cycle and mindless consumption is corrupting that cycle. This is not just an environmental issue, its a YOU issue. The average American is expected to throw away 90,000 pounds of trash in their lifetime. \r
\r
Cutting down on plastic is imperative to insuring our wildlife and food supply does not become completely wiped out for future generations. The ocean is a big concern for me with our coral dying all over the planet as plastic whirlpools the size of continent are forming, extinguishing entire species and killing countless marine wildlife.

Hopefully those are enough reasons for you to care, now lets get into the swaps.\r
