“There is no such thing as away. When you throw something away, it must go somewhere.” 

-- Annie Leonard

Plastic now pollutes every corner of Earth!  

“Research, published in the journal Anthropocene, shows that no part of the planet is free of the scourge of plastic waste. Everywhere is polluted with the remains of water containers, supermarket bags, polystyrene lumps, compact discs, cigarette filter tips, nylons and other plastics. Some are in the form of microscopic grains, others in lumps. The impact is often highly damaging. " Source: The Guardian.


We all contribute to this!  We toss food, water bottles, plastic utensils, coffee cups, containers, paper towels, and more.  However; the solutions are simple for all of us to take.  Reflect and take a moment to think about your week; what you eat, what you toss, and how it’s packaged, and change something!
