Cleaning up the Pacific Ocean Trash Vortex
The Surf Lady dedicates her life to this particular cause Pacific Trash Vortex
Plastic is destroying our planet. Many things are beyond our control – global warming, etc. People can’t imagine not driving their cars. FINE. But there is one thing WE CAN DO and that is GIVE UP plastic. Plastic never decomposes.
Right now the ocean is more plastic than plankton. Maybe it is already too late for humans, if you consider what that statement REALLY means. There have been cataclysms in our history, but let’s not go down without a fight. Giving up plastic may be one thing that could save our species.
STOP BUYING PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES!!! 2 Million are bought every 5 minutes in the USA alone. It is just glorified TAP WATER anyway. This has been proven and is easily researchable. Either get a water filter for your tap at home or carry your own STAINLESS STEEL water containers.
Many cities have banned plastic bags and with good reason. Carry a canvas bag.
JUST AVOID PLASTIC PRODUCTS WHENEVER POSSIBLE. YOU HAVE A CHOICE – YOU HAVE A VOTE. HOW? VOTE WITH YOUR POCKETBOOK.
When companies see a decline in sales for their plastic based products, THEY WILL RESPOND by coming up with alternatives. Even if you go into Starbucks, hand them your OWN mug. They will gladly fill that up for you.
And finally, we know no one wants to hear this, but the reason our CONSUMPTION FOR LEISURE society is the way it is is because we have more people than ever. STOP HAVING KIDS for now !!! If you need to play house so badly, ADOPT or FOSTER instead. You will save the life of a needy child and fulfill your requirements to play house – if we keep having children, THERE WILL BE NO HOUSE / PLANET EARTH to play in!!!
