Plastic-free action with Shilpi Chhotray @ Break Free From Plastic

Shilpi Chhotray is the Senior Communications Officer of the Break Free From Plastic Movement. The project includes 1,400 non-governmental organizations from across the world who have banned together to demand massive reductions in single-use plastics. The project was started with the vision of ending plastic waste in the world not just because of the impact that it has on our planet, but because it is a social justice, public health, and human rights issue as well. 

Shilpi is based in the Bay Area where she runs Samudra Skin & Sea, her wild seaweed skincare line. Shilpi didn’t just talk to us about her role at Break Free From Plastic, but also corporate responsibility and the seaweed beauty product company she started.
