Use biodegradable dental floss

Conventional dental floss is made of a petroleum based, non-biodegradable plastic. Strings of this floss along with plastic floss containers are usually not recycled and they end up polluting our landfills, oceans, and natural environments. Lucky for the flossers of the world, there are eco-friendly alternatives that will maintain your dental health while improving the health of the planet! Compostable dental floss picks and bamboo fiber flosses exist—and they do just as good of a job as conventional floss. Next time you buy dental floss, explore the biodegradable options that are out there!

Identify sources of pollution

The Litterati app helps create global databases on “litter maps” that identify what trash products are heavily polluting specific areas. Users pick up trash and upload information about what they are finding including material, location, and brand. This way, their data can identify the source of a problem and find a solution. For example, the Litterati app identified an area within San Francisco where cigarettes were found in high concentrations. Using this information, the city was able to challenge a lawsuit by tobacco companies and double an existing cigarette sales tax. Their goal is to empower people to become a part of the solution.

Use cloth towels instead of paper

Paper towels begin as a mix of wood, cardboard, and paper products that gets broken down into a pulp. Somewhere along the way, toxic additives and glues are added to these products, further reducing their recycle-ability. What began as a recycle-able product turns into something that can only end up in a landfill. Paper towels made from 100% recycled post-consumer paper are the greener option when it comes to these products. Even better, opt for reusable towels that can be washed and re purposed for years! And did you know newspaper can be used to wipe down glass or mirrors? Alternatives to paper towels are out there and making the switch is easy!

Pick up 3 pieces of litter per day

If every American picked up 152 pieces of litter each year, our country would be free from the 50 billion pieces of litter currently on the ground. Cigarette butts and snack wrappers account for most of our litter, many of which end up in and around our waterways. About 207 million pieces of PPE equipment (masks and gloves) could be found across roads and waterways in the U.S. That’s almost the same as litter from plastic straws. It’s up to us to pick up the trash we see in our daily lives. Many people
