THE END TO PLASTIC BAGS 🙌🙌🙌

Why Reusable Silicone Bags?

BETTER FOR THE PLANET

It’s not magic, it’s just very reusable. Our reusable silicone bags were designed with the environment in mind. One silicone bag can replace 5000+ disposable bags. The average family can use up to 2000 plastic bags a year. All that plastic can end up in landfills and the ocean. Save yourself and save the planet. The turtles will thank you for it.

BETTER FOR YOU

Made with 100% platinum silicone. Because you’re worth it. Traditional plastic containers are petroleum based and can contain harmful chemicals. These toxins can leach into your food especially when heating or microwaving. That’s why pure silicone is the best choice for your health.

NO BPA • NO LEAD • NO PVC • NO PHTHALATES

SO CONVENIENT

These babies can take the heat! Our reusable silicone bags are safe to use on the top or bottom racks of your dishwasher. They are food safe and can be microwaved and heated up to 425°F (220°C). They’re also flexible and expandable so you can use them in the freezer. Squeeze out air then zip.  Buh-bye freezer burn.

Opinion on Plastic Straws vs Paper Straws

ANOTHER SINGLE USE ITEM TURNED REUSABLE 🙌🙌

FACT: An astounding 1.5 billion cotton swabs are produced every single day and the average American uses 415 cotton swabs every year. In the UK damage is evident: For every 100 feet of beach there are 9 cotton swabs. Let’s make single-use cotton swabs a thing of the past!

The team at Save The Turtles are continuing their mission to end single-use plastic pollution in our oceans and landfills. They found that cotton swabs are one of the biggest single-use plastic pollutants without a solution. Enter the Reusable Cotton & Makeup Swab, the first reusable, durable, alternative to single-use cotton swabs, cotton buds, and Q-tips.

Both our two innovative designs feature a soft-feel tip made of medical grade silicone. It is delicate enough to be suitable for sensitive body parts, and so precise that it’ll become a make-up essential.

I always thought it was weird when I got a refill they gave me an entirely new one when it’s literally built so you can remove the actual medicine

If you haven’t seen this video already, it’s something worth watching. While it’s quite disturbing to watch, it really shows the damage we are doing to our oceans and marine wildlife. I know a few companies are making the switch to biodegradable straws but it’s still not enough. Something needs to change and we need to make it happen! 

[kateykat]

This is disgusting. I’m ashamed to live in a world where we rely on so much plastic. It’s time to email our politicians and demand change. It’s 2019 folks…wake the F up. THIS IS A PROBLEM.

[wesavetheoceans]

So happy to see people are passionate about making a change towards getting rid of plastics! Marine animals rely on us to smarten up and make the change. If any of your are interested in helping our cute sea creatures, there’s a great place called www.savetheturtles.ca. They sell reusable straws and donate 5% of their profits to Sea Turtle Conservancy. Something worth checking out to make a small change. 

[takethattrump]

I actually own one of those straws from Save The Turtles! I literally take it with my everywhere I go. Pretty sure I’ve made 10 other people get one just by using it at restaurants. Check them out everyone —–> SAVE THE TURTLES

[hella90s]

GUYS! WE CAN SAVE THE TURTLES NOW. SPREAD THE WORD AND GET YOUR STRAWS HERE!

P.S. to all my friends: You’ll each be getting one from me.

From Ethical Sourcing to Stores Powered by The Sun

Starbucks not only ethically sources their coffee, paying workers proper wages. The company is also working towards running their stores through local green energy. In addition Starbucks is working towards greener cups and plan to phase out all plastic straws worldwide by 2020.

SAY NO TO CLING WRAP AND PLASTIC BAGS!!! 🚫🚫🚫

We are continuing our efforts in providing amazing products to lower our reliance on plastic products. We have seen a great reaction to our reusable straws and reusable produce bags but now it’s time to tackle one of the biggest culprits found in most kitchens: cling wrap and plastic sandwich bags. 

Cling wrap and plastic sandwich bags are just another prime example of a single-use plastic that is completely unnecessary. It’s a temporary solution to our everyday lives that’s also quick and convenient but hasn’t been changed or modified in ages. With the push for more eco-friendly solutions to our plastic usage, we recently visited a farmer’s market where someone was selling these beeswax food wraps. 

They are reusable, washable, keep your food fresher for longer due to them being 100% natural and breathable, and they simply look cooler than any plastic sandwich bag you’ve ever seen.

IT’S TIME TO STOP USING SINGLE-USE PLASTICS!!!

We recently sparked conversation amongst the Tumblr community about our global plastic usage when we first introduced our reusable straws. While we were aggressive in pointing out that change needed to be made, some of you stressed that plastic usage went beyond just straws. We took what you told us in wanting more products that could assist in lowering our plastic usage and have come up with a solution for another plastic culprit: single-use produce bags.

While grocery stores worldwide are phasing out single-use grocery bags at the till, produce bags still remain. On average, 4 bags per family are used per day, adding up to a staggering 1,500 short-lived bags per year!

The average plastic bag is used for a whopping 12 minutes! That same bag will take centuries to degrade and may cause irreversible damage to marine life and our oceans. Making the switch to reusables will make a difference - in the health of our planet and the long-lasting freshness of your food.

They are not just for produce either. You can store travel items and almost any household item. Perfect for toys, fruit, coins, medicine, cables, cosmetics, accessories and much more. Use them to keep things together during grocery shopping, camping, fishing, garden harvest, beach, and travels. 

We hope you’ll join us in our effort to continue the conversation surrounding the reduction of plastic use and keeping our oceans clean.

How to Use Less Plastic in Your Home 

[savetheturtlescanada]

ONE STRAW TO END THEM ALL 💪

Americans use 500 million straws every single day with the majority of those ending up in our landfills and oceans. Here at Save The Turtles, we created a simple and effective method of reducing our reliance on plastic with our Collapsible Straw. 

While the push continues to change how big restaurant chains and corporations operate, we must be the change we want to see. Without grassroots movements like this, companies would continue to operate under the premise that our oceans don’t matter. Make a small difference in your community by getting a reusable straw. 

Here at Save The Turtles, our ultimate goal is to keep our oceans clean. In our pursuit to achieve this, beyond offering our reusable straws, we donate 5% of our profits to Sea Turtle Conservancy. 

While straws are just the beginning, our team is hard at work designing more eco-friendly, reusable products to continue the push towards a plastic-free ocean.
