I believe everyone knows that plastic is bad for the environment however do we actually sit back and think about playing our part in a solution?
I never realised how bad the problem was until I researched, watching videos and reading articles. For example 2 videos that affected me are below. The amount of plastic in our oceans is shocking, and it is endangering the animals, particularly bags and straws. It broke my heart watching the turtle suffer because of something us humans do that can be stopped. This awakened my curiosity into environmental issues and what I can do to help.
After researching simple solutions, I now like to buy any drink in a glass bottle and re-use that bottle for water, instead of buying plastic bottles. It’s easier to clean glass bottles because after a while plastic starts to smell and although I am one person, I am making one difference by not buying plastic bottles. I also avoid plastic straws wherever I can. For example, I go to restaurants such as TGI Fridays which provide biodegradable paper straws for customers. Its a rewarding feeling that their chain of restaurants are helping make a difference.
The ultimate goal is to not only I become ecological everyday, but our readers too.
