Our exploration of the Philippines in 2019 revealed the stark contrast between its natural beauty and the pervasive issue of unmanaged waste
Industry Influence:
Back home in the USA, our realization that our reliance on single-use plastics is perpetuated by the oil and gas industry was a sobering revelation.
Empowering Leaders:
Inspired by our experiences, we established Green Teen Generation with a mission to empower young individuals in addressing climate change.

Reducing Plastics
Small Changes, Big Impact
Embrace Reusable Alternatives:
Swap single-use plastics for reusable options. Invest in a sturdy water bottle, bring your own coffee cup, and carry reusable shopping bags. These choices eliminate the need for disposable items, reducing your plastic footprint
Say No to Straws:
Plastic straws are a major contributor to environmental pollution. Skip the straw when ordering drinks, or consider using reusable alternatives like stainless steel or bamboo straws
Shop in Bulk:
Purchase items in bulk to reduce packaging waste. Bring your own containers to stores that offer bulk options for items like grains, nuts, and snacks. This not only cuts down on plastic but can also save you money.
Choose Eco-Friendly Packaging:
Opt for products with minimal or eco-friendly packaging. Look for items in glass, cardboard, or paper packaging instead of plastic. Supporting businesses that prioritize sustainable packaging encourages positive change.
Proper Recycling:
Understand your local recycling guidelines and ensure that you recycle properly. This includes cleaning containers before recycling and being aware of which plastics are accepted in your area
Spread the Word:
Advocate for plastic reduction within your community. Share your knowledge and experiences on social media, host educational events, or collaborate with local organizations. Building awareness is a crucial step towards a plastic-free future.
