Giolitti’s Delicatessen and Marketplace recognizes International Plastic-Free Day on May 25th, a campaign developed by an organization called Free the Ocean. For International Plastic-Free Day, we encourage all of our customers to recognize the single-use plastic they use daily and the impact that it can have on our environment, including our oceans. Statistically, single-use plastic utensils can take up to 1,000 years to decompose. As part of International Plastic-Free Day on May 25th, we encourage all of our customers to stand with Free the Ocean’s mission to avoid buying, using, and refusing plastic products.
