5 Places to Buy Plastic-Free School Supplies
Plastic pens, folders, backpacks, and lunch boxes—the list goes on. School supplies are packed with single-use plastic products that are contributing to the plastic waste crisis.
As a parent, you can change that by swapping out single-use plastic for more sustainable options.
This will also make your child more aware of the plastic crisis. They might even inspire their classmates!
