10 year challenge

This is the challenge we all should really worry about. Plastic is "everywhere". Did you know that 12 million tonnes of plastic enter the ocean every year. That equals a fully loaded garbage truck emptying their rubbish in the ocean every minute all year around. We can recycle and put it in bins but what we really need to do is to reduce our plastic footprint - there is no "out" on this planet. When you take the rubbish "out" you just move it to a different spot - either to a dump or sometimes it goes to the atmosphere when it's being burnt. The rubbish you take out - it's still on this planet in one form or another. Say no to single use plastic items such as plastic straws, plastic bags, takeaway coffees and the small plastic soy fish containers you get from sushi places. The positive change for this planet starts with you 👍
