Precious Plastic Should Not Exist (Patreon)

Precious Plastic only exists because there is a problem. Plastic pollution. And who causes plastic pollution? Humans. You. And me. And mum. And Peter. All of us. By consuming plastic. 

Reducing the consumption of plastic to the bare minimum is the best way you can help Precious Plastic. Sure, also donating on Patron ranks pretty high on good ways to help Precious Plastic 😜

Jokes aside, we see it over and over again. We visit and talk to a lot of Precious Plastic people and workspaces around the world. And often, people seem to think that because they work on Precious Plastic they can go on consuming as much plastic as they like. Nahhh. Wrong answer. Unfortunately, this does not add up. Precious Plastic is not a soul-saving tool to continue life as usual. Working on Precious Plastic should help you understand how resource and time-intensive it is to recycle plastic. How precious it is. And strive to reduce how much we all consume. 

We will never be able to recycle all the plastic currently produced and consumed. Alongside recycling plastic, with or without Precious Plastic, we should also drastically reduce our consumption of plastic. Reduce it to the bare minimum. 

And how do you reduce your plastic consumption? This is not our expertise, but it basically comes down to either use plastic-free alternatives or skip plastic products altogether. Do yourself a google and find zero-waste alternatives and strategies to help you lower your plastic consumption. 

And if you're up for a challenge, join the Plastic Free July initiative and challenge yourself to use as little plastic as possible for the month of July. 

Big up, Mattia
