Is it possible to go plastic-free in Alaska? | INDIE ALASKA
Jennifer Gordon sailed from Seldovia, AK to Mexico on a huge adventure with her family several years ago. Along their journey, she noticed how much plastic waste contaminated the ocean and sea shores. She and her family took it upon themselves to pick up plastic waste throughout their trip and made it a mission to live a minimal waste lifestyle. Gordon continues on her passion by co-founding Blue Market AK, a local refillery store that hopes to reduce plastic wastes by reusing and repurposing plastics and glassware.

Decades ago old newspapers were used for 🥬🧅🍏. Long-distance skaters used it under their clothing etc..
I love this channel and this is such a great shop that she started. It’s a great easy way for people to transition into less waste.
Such an inspiring story! It shows that we can make a difference as individuals.
What we humans are doing to our planet and the home of every living creature makes me cry but people like Jen give me hope for future generations❤️
Going to some of our wild places and finding plastics is always so disappointing. Great video
Props to you Jen! wish we had these refilleries over here down South!
