Our planet is in need of an extra dose of love and commitment. And as much as we all want to help, it can be super confusing to know where to start and what can really make a difference. How can we reduce food waste? How do I compost? Are straws going to make the difference between saving the planet and spiraling downward? And in which dang bin does this (insert any object here) go? 

Well, we’ve been asking these questions for a while, and we know there’s always multiple ways to go at these big hairy issues. Our goal is to provide you with explanations about why we do what we do and why we think it’s important for our health and the health of the planet. In plain English. 

Check out our pages on bioplastics, chemicals of concern, renewable resources, recycling, and compostable packaging. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, our inbox is open. 

And please don’t just take our word on things. It’s always a good idea to inject some straight-up science into the discussion.
