NEWS ABOUT THE PLASTIC SOUP DURING A PANDEMIC
A personal message from us: Last Monday we closed our office and since then we work from home. We are dismayed by the speed with which the Coronavirus is shaking our environment and we are shocked by the seriousness of the disease. We are worried about you and each other.
In the coming weeks we will be able to continue our work to the best of our ability, but with an eye out for everyday reality. And if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask them!
Even in this difficult period, let’s try to keep our plastic footprint as small as possible. Disposable plastic cups and other food packaging are less hygienic than you might think. Your own reusable cups and bottles are very easy to clean!
Above all, we have only one wish: stay healthy and take good care of each other… and of our world. 🌍
All love,
PSF Team
