It's Salt Awareness Week! Too much salt can harm your health — but reducing it is easier than you think!
This Salt Awareness Week, make smart swaps:

Fresh > Processed
Spices > Salt
Homemade > Store-bought
Just 5 grams a day is enough!

High-tech “recycling” tricks may sound futuristic, but they just repackage pollution. These methods extend the life of plastic instead of ending its harm. The real fix is cutting plastic off at the tap. #ZeroWaste #ClimateAction

Old phones, chargers, batteries, and gadgets contain toxic materials that harm the environment if not disposed of properly. Take them to certified e-waste recycling centers to ensure safe handling and recovery of valuable resources.  #EWaste
