Plastic waste keeps increasing in our oceans, beaches & creeks- basically everywhere. It pains me every time I go to the beach and see it littered with loads of plastic; all labelled recyclable. We can collect this trash but for how long! Somethings can be hard to do over and over. We need to change!

We are so informed and therefore very knowledgeable about the state of our environment and everything else, you know, but it beats me why we are so careless that we don’t care about this place we call home. We know this problem is affecting us but we seem quite comfortable with it, why are we like this.

If a new report that by 2040 plastic waste would triple in the ocean if nothing is done is anything to go by, we should concerned if not worried.

Take action today, reduce plastic pollution.
