WHY
RUBBISH?
TRASH STINKS.
No, really. In so many ways, trash and the many issues that surround it stink. Big time. We're passionate about addressing these issues by building community to talk about trash, get our hands dirty, and learn.
This is a great space to write long text about your company and your services. You can use this space to go into a little more detail about your company. Talk about your team and what services you provide.
Over- Consumption
As a society we tend to over-consume. This results in waste and pollution and is linked to consumer culture, where people buy and throw 'away' goods at an alarming rate.
Pollution & Marine Debris
When our garbage becomes litter it pollutes our environment, both land and sea. This causes harm to animals through entanglement and ingestion, as well as further pollution through toxins and degradation.
The Plastic Problem
"I've got one word for you... plastics." The miracle material that changed the world and is never, ever going 'away'. Petroleum-based, single-use plastics represent the vast majority of our trash.
Microplastics Galore
Plastic breaks down in the environment into smaller and smaller pieces. We've now found microplastics in nearly every corner of our environment, drinking water, baby poop, and human blood.
Climate Change
Trash is a leading contributor to climate change, both through the actual making of the trash and it's disposal afterwards. Landfills generate huge amounts of methane.
Environmental Injustice
The issues and burdens of trash are unequally shared with marginalized communities disproportionately bearing the weight and facing the consequences.
