21 Anti Plastic Slogans with Free Posters

There’s never been a better time to stand up for our planet. The combination of rising sea temperatures, air pollution, and plastic pollution is putting extreme pressure on the natural world. We all need to make significant changes. Here are some Plastic Slogans to help get the word out.

We need to (and we can) reduce our plastic waste immediately! Using your voice or even sharing the free posters will help spread the word. Let’s make Earth Day an everyday consideration.

Why Slogans Work

Slogans are catchy, to the point and memorable. They can get stuck in your head (and the heads of people around you) and ideally get stuck into the heads of people who have real power to make decisions.

In an ideal world, environmentalists come up with catchy slogans, get together, protest and chant some kind of plastic slogan. The short slogan (if memorable) will be picked up by the media and shared.

In short, a slogan is one of the quickest and easiest ways to share a message with the largest number of people. Whether you are chanting Save Earth Slogans or Slogans on Saving Water you are contributing to the world’s environmental cause.

Why we need to Say No To Plastic

Our planet is literally suffocating in plastic. It is everywhere. The problem with plastic is that it’s designed too well. Its purpose was to be cheap and durable. Plastic has achieved both, but what’s the real cost.

Yes, you can make a plastic bag for 1 cent and it can carry a full load of groceries. That is a serious engineering feat. But for every action, there is a reaction.

The reaction to our cheap and disposable lifestyle is the demise of the natural world. From seabirds on remote islands to innocent deer in their forests, there’s almost nowhere on our planet that’s not been affected by plastic in one way or another.

Plastic Quick Facts

We all need to say no to plastic as much as we psychically can. And, you’d be surprised just how easy that actually is. In the meantime, here are some shocking real facts about plastic pollution that you should know:

• Up to 12.7 Million tonnes of plastic enter the ocean each year 
• Plastic items break into tiny particles called microplastics that are ingested by all kinds of wildlife.
• When animals (and birds) ingest plastic, they cannot digest it (break it down). Their stomachs are full but they cannot eat any more real food and die of starvation.
• There is more plastic in your bottled water than in tap water. 11 major bottled water brands (internationally) were tested for microplastics. At least 93% of the bottles contained levels twice that of tap water.
• Takeaway food in styrofoam containers is carcinogenic (cancer-causing). Styrene is classified as a carcinogen to humans according to the National Research Council.

Companies Producing Plastic

Most of the plastic we deal with on a daily basis (like bags) is either High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) or Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE). These are made from a petrochemical process (fossil fuels/oil).

These plastics were first developed in the 1950’s and quickly taken over by the oil industry. It’s no surprise that some of the biggest producers of plastic are the oil companies you might have heard of:

• Exxon Mobil
• Chevron

There is a relatively short list of major, global oil/plastic producing companies. Here are the top 10.

There are a few traits that they have in common:

• They have annual sales in the billions of dollars (some with hundreds of billions)
• Public stocks and shares

These kinds of large corporations are targets for hedge funds and superannuation accounts.

Are your investments contributing to the plastic pollution problem?

You might be unknowingly contributing to the market share of the fossil fuel industry/plastic industry through third party investment companies.

What does that mean?

Ironically, things like superannuation are meant to be looking after your futures best interest. However, this is only from a financial standpoint.

In reality, the more people that are investing in the fossil fuel industry now means the growth and expansion of these companies, more production of plastics, more pollution, etc. This is leading toward a pretty grim future.

If you do have investments in hedge funds or superannuations, check to see if they do go towards the fossil fuel industry.

Plastic Alternatives

Yes, you can recycle plastic. But isn’t it better to start buying plastic alternatives? This will show the market that we, consumers, no longer want what they are making because we are not happy with how things have turned out and certainly don’t want it to continue.

There are some exciting leaps in the world of plastic alternatives approaching market stages.

Reusables

One of the biggest issues with plastic in our consumerist society is that most of the products are single-use.

A water bottle is used once, then tossed out. A bag of potato chips is opened then tossed out, etc. Here’s an example of some regular items that you can swap for a reusable (refillable) option.

Petroleum-Based Plastic Alternatives

Apart from reusable containers, there are new and improved biodegradable plastics derived from organic materials like:

Plastic From Cactus

This incredible idea could be exactly the kind of revelation the world has been waiting for. Watch the short video for more information.

Plastic Packaging Alternative Using Mushroom

This company and technology have been around for a few years and are making headway towards becoming more mainstream.

What about all the plastic that’s already out there?

There might be a solution for that too! Again, mushrooms. This specific type of mushroom can actually “eat” plastic. It could have huge implications for landfills and other areas riddled with plastic waste.
