About
Plastic Free Israel is a grassroots movement that was started by one person who believes that everyone has the ability to help the environment in one way or another.
Plastic pollution is infiltrating our planet at an alarming rate. We’ve produced more plastic in the last ten years than we did in the entire century prior. We’ve created enough waste to fill four Mount Everests. We’re throwing the equivalent of one garbage truck full of trash being dumped into our oceans every minute - a rate that is predicted to double by 2050, if not sooner.
We will have oceans filled with more plastic than fish. Enough is enough.
We say: don’t despair. While the plastic pollution problem needs to be tackled from multiple angles, everyone can be a part of the solution. It comes down to two simple things:
1. Reducing our waste by saying no to the biggest single-use plastic polluters out there: cups, straws, bottles, lids, bags, plates, and silverware.
2. Picking up trash. It doesn’t have to have been your trash and you don’t have to spend all day doing it - picking up a few pieces here or there is one step towards making a difference. We are all role models for the people around us!
If you’re interested in volunteering, collaborating, hosting a cleanup, or just have some ideas for the page; or if you're an Israel-based business that offers sustainable solutions or alternatives - get in touch!
