Plastics Impact on the Environment

Plastic pollution can modify habitats and natural processes, limiting ecosystems' capacity to adapt to climate change and adversely affecting millions of people's social and economic well-being and livelihoods. Therefore, to reduce plastic use, invest in a zipped fabric bag, and ask to return your cleaned goods in the bag they came in rather than wrapped in plastic. (While at it, make sure you regularly use a dry cleaner that forgoes the perc, a hazardous substance in some cleaning solvents.)
