Tomorrow is World Oceans Day! 🌊 Our Waste Not Wednesday posts talk a lot about how our collective waste ends up in the ocean, particularly single-use items, but in honor of all our fish friends, we wanted to share a few hidden sources of ocean waste to avoid that may not be as obvious.

Over here at Sankoty Sustainables, every day is Environment Day, where we try to provide information and products that help reduce waste in our environment, but next Monday is extra special. Each year on June 5th, the UN hosts World Environment Day, and this year’s theme happens to be plastic pollution and all the ways to fight it!

Summer is almost here, and with it, SUN! ☀️ As we get ready to have outdoor cookouts and hit the beach, we wanted to talk about sustainable ways to be safe when you are outside catching the rays.

May 13th is World Migratory Bird Day! Our feathery friends are busy flying back from their winter beach homes to enjoy the local summer, but unfortunately, they will likely come across a lot of litter. Let’s welcome our birds back by cleaning up their environment and reducing our waste together!

This Trash Talk Tuesday, we’re focusing on waste in our water. 🌊 By now, we’ve all seen the pictures of suffering marine animals and heard all about how our water sources are becoming increasingly filled with microplastics and contaminants (Brita filters anyone?). There is, thankfully, growing concern about pollution in our water, but with a problem as big as the ocean, what can we as average people do?

Welcome to another Trash Talk Tuesday! I wanted to discuss different types of water waste and what we can do if anything to recycle it. Water is necessary for life, but isn’t always endlessly accessible depending on where you're located. It isn’t just vital for humans, but having clean water is a necessity for that local ecosystem. Therefore, it is important to know how to preserve water and what kinds of wastewater we create.
