An estimated 4.7 million tons of plastic ends up in our oceans each year where wave action turns them into a plastic soup, damaging sea life and marine ecosystems. They will persist for at least a thousand years.
Even a company like Vitacost, that supplies and promotes "green" products, inserts plastic scoops into their home brand products. Tell them we are willing to measure with our own stainless steel spoons to eliminate this unnecessary contribution to a world-wide problem!
