I enjoy swimming anywhere there's water, shooting 35mm film, embroidering, laughing with friends, and thrifting.
Disposable razors are used around the world for anything from personal care to tattoo prep. They have a very short lifespan on the consumer end, but last for thousands of years in our landfills and waterways.
I want future generations to inherit a world in which common household items don't come with the threat of producing microplastics!
