Intro to plastic free living

Me and my friends from Permacrafters & The Funky Loft put this video together to share some of our intro tips to a life free of plastic.

The 5 R's of Waste Management • REFUSE what you don't need • REDUCE what you do need • REUSE what you already have • RECYCLE what you cannot refuse, reduce, or reuse • ROT the rest

We can literally make a change in this world depending where we spend our $$

If we want to make a real change on how the world is working, we have to stop supporting mass-produced products by big corporations, they are #1 responsible of slave labor, unsustainable livestock, agriculture, illegal logging, plastic ending on the landfill, rivers contaminated, etc. We get to make a real change by supporting sustainable, ethical, eco-friendly companies that give a damn about their employees and the world we all live in. Here’s a little video I did on this topic:
