Lexington Zero Waste Collaborative

Before plastic became the default, people carried water, stored food, packed lunches, and shared meals without single-use plastic.

☀️ This Plastic Free July we’re celebrating simple solutions that have been with us all along while pushing for systemic change.

🛍️🍌 From takeout containers, plastic-wrapped produce, to dairy products and bottled water, plastic food and drink packaging is currently flooding the U.S. And all of that plastic, as far as the eye can see? It comes with a toxic health cost. ☢️

But we’re working to turn the tide. This week, we joined the Break Free From Plastic Movement's lobby week to bring policy solutions directly to Congress. 👉 And we need your help too! Tell your legislators to support policies that get toxic plastics off our food and drinks. Read our latest and sign the petition. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4uUDzh1
