Five large plastic bags of trash were removed from this whale. Despite tremendous efforts, the whale could not be saved.
What you see in the picture should make you sick--that is its intention. But the solution starts with YOU.
Plastics--an industry too big to fail; an industry that virtually encapsulates everything, computers, TV's, cars, shopping bags, cell phones--everything: And yet, if it isn't curbed we will all die from its effects. Micro plastics, the detritus of plastic waste, have been found in the atmosphere. We will be breathing it and dying from it too soon.
I am writing this blog to educate as many people as I can to the evils of pollution and to the fact that our planet has to be saved for our children and grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Our blog content will start with YOU and what you can do in your daily life, at school, at work, at home, to help alleviate this terrible blight on our planet.
You can start by looking around you. Where is the plastic and how are your dealing with it?
There is an organization called 4Ocean (4ocean.com). From their website:
"Even though 4ocean has collected millions of pounds of trash from the ocean and built an international infrastructure to fight the ocean plastic crisis, we’re just getting started. The ocean plastic crisis is massive and growing."
We are going to address these issues and discuss solutions in our weekly blog post. Please share with friends and family.
This is a subject that everyone should be concerned about and trying to change the tide on. We should all be looking at ways to lesson the use of plastic within our households. Just think about the amount of plastic you see when you go grocery shopping. This is worse then Covid-19 because in a year we will all be talking about Covid-19 and the vaccine or pill we took to get better. What happens when we or our children EAT too much micro plastics within our food chain which we cannot digest??
