“To be honest it isn’t that hard to get rid of plastic. We don’t sell anything that comes in a plastic wrapper, it’s expected now and customers will notice more if you HAVE plastic. Generally people expect you to avoid it, you know they don’t notice you not having plastic … but they DO notice when you have it!
“We see it first hand right here. If you get a big tide or a storm the beach is covered in it. You see the impacts and the plastic on the beach. It brings it home; you can’t avoid it. You have to be part of the solution.”
