More than 8 million tons of plastic are thrown into our oceans every single year. Each American throws away an average of 185 pounds of plastic annually. People often say that one person can’t make a difference, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. This year, remove yourself from this statistic with these 5 easy zero waste swaps from our vegan store!

One of the easiest products to start swapping for a more reusable option is straws! There are 500 million straws being used in the US alone every single day. That’s 182.5 billion a year! This means the average person uses 1.6 straws a day. Switch today to these adorable rose gold stainless steel straws and beat that statistic this year. This set comes with a convenient little cleaning brush.  

So many grocery stores are getting rid of plastic bags in their produce section, which can be quite an adjustment for some people.

They’re perfect for storing your veggies and fruits in the fridge too!  

Our lives have changed since the K-Cup came out. Being able to make a cup of coffee by just popping in one little pod was life-changing! However, those single use pods can be pretty wasteful.

This set of 4 comes in different sizes for your convenience! We love how easily we can store our food while using less plastic.
