The Plastic Purge
Are you fed up of single-use plastic? So are we! This is why Green Mary is launching the Plastic Purge, a new campaign to reduce single-use plastic usage on campus. To show your support to this campaign, please sign up HERE.
From single-use plastic water bottles, disposable coffee cups, plastic bags, plastic cups, straws, micro-breads in cosmetics to food wrapped in plastic unnecessarily: Plastic is everywhere!
We believe there is so much each one of us can do to reduce plastic usage and therefore plastic waste: From getting a reusable water bottle, to shopping plastic free this campaign will show you the way to purge plastic from your live, one cup at a time!
