Plastic is everywhere, and we use it every day. What it we all tried to use less! In this presentation with CARE for the Cape and Islands, we will explore how plastic ends up in our environment, the harm it causes to marine life, and most importantly, simple swaps you can make to use less of it. Learn easy, impactful ways to reduce plastic and help protect the natural beauty of Cape Cod for future generations.
