Tag your it! You may have seen a lot of videos buzzing around your social feeds with #BeatPlasticPollution and people tagging each other. Well the UN Environment challenged the world to join their game of tag to launch a global movement to show positive changes we can make in our plastic consumption. We’re all about ’em #LittleGreenSteps so we’ve summarised a few of our fave celebrity videos for your enjoyment and inspiration!
This game of tag challenges people to share which single-use plastic they are ready to give up and the reusable alternative they are choosing instead. Then of course tag a few friends or businesses with the #BeatPlasticPollution to spread the game!

And once you’ve got that down pat, introduce another and another – sooner or later you’ll be plastic free. UNited we fight: Let’s UNdo the harm.
