Starting with your water
Less plastic. Healthier home.
Research-backed guides to reducing microplastic exposure in your water, kitchen, and home — without the overwhelm.
Why LesserPlastic
Progress over perfection.
LesserPlastic started because I couldn't find a straight answer. Every article I read was either too alarming, too vague, or trying to sell me something. So I started researching it myself — reading the studies, testing the products, and figuring out what actually makes a difference.
This site is everything I wish existed when I started: honest, practical, and focused on progress over perfection.
