Recycling is a mess here. We sometimes have a bottle credit, but not really. Our state legislature keeps shooting down a bill to enhance it. People don't know how to recycle properly, and it is a chore to keep explaining. Plastic isn't really recyclable. A goal of mine is to turn the plastic problem on the manufacturer, not the consumer. Recycling has been normalized because of corporations. - Evan

Something my school's club wanted to do was host a plastic drive where people would bring in plastics and we'd eventually turn that plastic into art with our design team at school. We were going to do this in April for our plastics panel I hosted. - Evan

I use metal bottles in replace of plastics and barely use straws. Americans use 500 million straws daily! How can we reuse items? How can we reduce the amount of plastics used?

I do not use straws and I reduce all plastic items. I have worked on two plastic bag bans in towns in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, along with working with city leaders in Newton on a plastic straw/bottle/takeout container reduction bylaw in food establishments. I've actually written the ordinance with them! - Evan

Plastic bags and it can be replaced with a reusable bag. Even though paper and cotton are popular options, with cotton being extremely water-intensive and paper not being as strong as plastic, the best alternative would be hemp bags. Hemp is not water-intensive along with the added benefit that hemp actually takes in CO2. - Evan
