Apparently manufacturers are making huge strides in sustainability yet aren't telling people because of a perception that going green comes with a downside. How can we shift mindsets? We need businesses to share these good stories! https://t.co/EsDE9TX1IF

Of all plastic ever made, only 9% has been recycled... We ingest over 40,000 particles of microplastic a year. It's in the air - we breathe it in, it's in the food chain. Taken from Phil Somerville's talk "Eat Less Plastic" #SBNconference #endofplasticasweknowit
