Did you know? Brands spend $1 to look sustainable and $30 to harm people and the planet. That’s not sustainability. Then they push a “buy more” culture to to sell you things you don’t need. For the love of #Us - stop buying this.

You’re not buying things. You’re buying validation. And it never lasts. Hot take or facts? 👇

Anything for 20M views. Meanwhile, people are sorting your impulse buys out of trash. That’s the real spotlight. Stop buying more.

They tell you you’re not enough. So you buy more. To feel more. To be more. But… are you though? Life isn’t about having more. You’re already enough. Don’t buy the lie.

A meaningful milestone in circular action. Together, SC Johnson and Plastic Bank have collected the equivalent of 6 billion plastic bottles and returned them to circularity. That's enough to fill roughly 1,200 Olympic size swimming pools.

Recycling won’t save the planet. That’s the lie. The real crisis is in the Global South: broken systems, invisible workers. No one’s coming to fix this. So step up. Support collectors. Create real impact. Join #Us.

🌍 Historic ocean news you should actually care about. The High Seas Treaty is officially live. That means global protection for the open ocean, the majority of our seas that had no rules for decades. A big step toward safeguarding marine life and our future.

Plastic isn’t the problem. Broken waste systems are. 9 billion bottles recovered. 62,000 collectors earning better incomes. Waste turned into opportunity. This is what happens when plastic ends up in the right hands. Join #Us.

Kids aren’t just the future - they’re the solution. When children learn, families follow. Communities rise. This International Day of Education, create change with #Us. Support our School Program to teach waste management, incentivize recycling, and empower collectors.
