Globalization and advances in technology have made it easier than ever to buy more than we need and discard it when we’re done.
We’re able to buy anything online, from anywhere in the world, at the lowest price.
As a global society, we’re buying more than we need and generating more waste than ever before in human history.
The items we discard don’t just go away once we have thrown them away. Some remain for hundreds or even thousands of years before they biodegrade and breakdown completely.
Others, like plastic and Styrofoam, will never truly biodegrade and will remain with us in some form forever.
The waste crisis is a problem that technology alone can’t solve – it’s our consumption and production habits that need to change.
Most people are aware of the problem but lack easy access to the many eco-friendly options out there. We want to bridge this gap.
