Trash for Treasure: A Look at Sustainable Swaps

Earth is full of wonderful things. It's our home, but it has some environmental problems. Sometimes learning about the problems facing the planet can make you wonder if one person can make a difference. Planet Problem Solvers explains our environmental problems in detail and shows how change is possible. Find out the challenges to keeping Earth healthy, and what can be done to make change, one step at a time. Eighty percent of the trash in our oceans is plastic. Plastic doesn't go away. It just breaks into smaller and smaller pieces. It releases chemicals into the air and water. But it's not the only thing cluttering the planet. Learn about what we're doing to replace single-use items with sustainable swaps and how recycling can help solve our planet's problems.
