At the end of November, a young male sperm whale died after becoming stranded on a Scottish island. A ball of debris - weighing 220 pounds - was found in his stomach. That debris was made up of plastic - sections of net, plastic cups and tubing to name a few. He’s not alone. This whale in Italy, this whale in the Philippines and this pregnant whale with her unborn fetus have all suffered similar fates.  Who’s to blame? We are. Plastics make up the entire top 10 items list collected during the Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup, with plastic forks, knives and spoons taking the number 4 spot (they found 1,968,065!). If this trend continues, by the year 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean by weight, than fish. So what can we do. We can make better, more sustainable choice! Here are a couple of solutions to combat the single use plastic problem, and keep the whales - and oceans - happy and healthy for years to come. To Take With You GoSu...

That’s the equivalent of pouring a garbage truck of plastic in the water every minute. Switch your plastic for TwentyFifty compostable forks and spoons. TwentyFifty offers the only truly compostable cutlery out there (read: cutlery that doesn’t require a commercial composter that gets to at least 200 degrees F to break them down) t...
