Keep our Beaches Clean!

Many people are unaware how their daily activities, from driving a car, to not properly disposing of their garbage, or even throwing a cigarette butt on the ground, can impact the plants and animals off our shores. This debris can harm or kill beach organisms. Pollution also makes using the beach less enjoyable for humans

• Almost 90 percent of floating marine debris is plastic. Many kinds of plastics can be recycled to make furniture, bottles, and insulation.
• Glass can be recycled to make new glass, insulation, and asphalt. In 1993, we recycled more than 600 tons of glass, sustaining 4,320 jobs
• Nearly 75% of all metal is used just once. Recycling steel reduces air and water pollution and requires 70% less energy than producing it from raw materials
• Waste paper can be turned into raw material for new paper and paper products. Every 2,000 pounds of paper recycled saves 17 trees.

Pick up trash, glass, or any other trash you see where it doesnt belong!!

SimpleLifeDesigns uses beach glass to make beautiful creations. Other peoples trash becomes another treasure!! Check out the beautiful necklaces, earrings, rings, and other great finds HERE.

Upcycle!

Upcycling is a component of sustainability in which waste materials are used to provide new products. It is generally a reinvestment in the environment. Upcycling is the practice of taking something that is disposable and transforming it into something of greater use and value. This process allows for the reduction of waste and use of virgin materials.

Upcycling can be done with clothing, paper, and any materials that may go to waste. Its great to transform an old shirt into a purse, or a skirt or an old national geographic into envelopes or orgami.

New and Improved

The re-usable produce bags are new and improved. Of course I still have the window and the classic re-usable sandwich and snack bags, but I am now carrying WATERPROOF snack and sandwich bags. These are great for the ewwy gooies such as sliced apples, carrots, lettuce... anything that may be a little damp. It was also keep other food fresher, longer. They are lined with a waterproof oil cloth (similar to the lunch box material) and are very easy to clean. They can also be used as a wet bag for feminine liners or wet wipes as well as kids toys, passifiers, or anything you would normally stick in a plastic baggie.
