Happy Earth Day 2019,
This post is not to make people sad, guilty or lose hope, It is to bring awareness to the ongoing trash problem in our oceans and on our shorelines.
As you can see our trash is a serious problem on our shorelines. Some organizations are doing great things making a difference but its not enough, We must all work together worldwide to attack this problem.
We all have the ability to make a difference by reducing the amount of single-use items we use daily. Change can be difficult but I challenge you to Make The Switch for Nature
Three items that can make a huge impact are:
- Reusable thermos instead of single use
- Reusable bag instead of a plastic bag
- Metal utensils instead of single use plastic
I also recommend volunteering in a community beach cleanup at least once a year. Its important to see the amount of trash for yourself!
Hopefully this post will inspire you to make a positive change.
