A society that prioritizes a one-way, single-use system of consumption will, at some point, have to deal with its unsustainable methods of disposal.

This translates to mercury in Indigenous waterways, hazardous waste behind Black elementary schools, and 1.07 million metric tonnes of plastic waste exported to nearly every continent on the planet.
