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
