Think the slopes are only for fresh powder and adrenaline rushes? Think again. Imagine skiing down a mountain not of snow, but of discarded bottles, takeaway coffee lids, and plastic bags. Sound ridiculous? Sadly, it’s closer to reality than you’d think. Plastic pollution is no joke—it’s choking our oceans, invading our food chain, and even making its way into *our own tissues*. While plastic may have its uses, humanity’s over-the-top obsession with single-use convenience is anything but fantastic. Dive into our latest article to see the full picture, why it matters, and how you can help clean up the mess. Spoiler: it’s not by using a straw for your coffee on the ski lift.
