Hey Savannah,
This is great and very intriguing, some of this i didn’t even know about like cosmetics and cleaning products but that makes sense. Maybe in your next post you could expand on how these products affect the rate of pollution. Here’s some links to check out if you are interested

Hi Savannah. I really enjoyed reading your project blog post! It’s great that you’re focusing on highlighting some of the biggest polluting products and their impact on the environment. I appreciate how you plan to dive deeper into each product in upcoming posts. It’s a thoughtful and important topic. As a suggestion for your next post, you might want to consider providing some background information on why these products are harmful and how they contribute to environmental issues.

Hi Savannah,
This is a great topic to speak up on. I noticed for plastic bags, recently stores have been charging way more for plastic bags. I think this is because they want more people to bring in reusable bags. Whenever I am at the checkout line, I see people with bags brought from home. However, many people still choose to buy plastic bags. An alternative would be to give out reusable bags of course, which they do. The problem is that they charge a lot for the reusable bag which is why people go with the plastic bag. There are alternatives, but it is not working. How could companies fix this? Can they not just lower the price of reusable bags?
Here are some resources that can help:
