And if this continues, I can't imagine how the ocean would look like 5 years from now. Imagine a future of having to tell your kids about stories of how you enjoyed the ocean and swam with the fishes but they can't relate to you because all they see are plastics floating around the dirty black ocean.
It almost the end of the 1st month of the year and I still haven't thought about my "New Year's Resolution" - maybe because I know myself too well and myself just don't want to break promises anymore. Myself also realized that 2018 is the best year where I should include helping my community as one of my goal. There's really no need for grand gestures and big project to accomplish this. Little things like reducing waste in my own home and making the people aware about it will make an impact.
This not only saves the environment but it also saves your pocket because let's admit it - bottled water is overpriced.
I know this will entail more work for moms because they have to do the laundry and all, but come to think about all th waste that disposable diapers make. A baby's diaper needs to be changed 4 times a day -minimum. So just imagine a pile of 28 used diapers in your trash in just one week. And come on, most of our moms here survived the lampin days
Not only will you come out cleaner but this will also save you money (because you don't need to buy tons of tissue).
It's not that healthy to eat out of a Styrofoam anyway.
There you have it -- these things are not life changing but if every one in the world tries to reduce their waste just by 50% I am sure that Mother Earth will be happier.
