Here in Iquitos, Peru where I live, a new law is being enacted for this very reason. Starting February 1st, the restaurants aren’t allowed to serve drinks with plastic straws!
Good, here in Jamaica we can;t use plastic shopping bags…. change is good
Yes it is! That’s wonderful, and makes so much sense. Bags can be made from plenty of other materials, and we take care of our beautiful world!
true, we depend on the tourism dollar so we had to change
Ah, makes sense 😊
Spot on. We need to so much more to reduce our plastic waste if we’re going to save the biodiversity of the oceans. It is not just reduction on the consumer side that is needed though; the production of plastic by major corporations needs to be scaled back hugely to make any difference. I wrote an article recently on the extent of plastic pollution in the oceans if you want to do more research on this. Great article! https://adambolandblog.com/2019/03/04/the-new-frontier-plastic-pollution-in-the-ocean/
thank you, we could plant more trees and use more paper packaging as well. There are so many things we can do to solve the problem we just need to care… than you for your kind words
Absolutely! There are so many things we can do to help. Thank you for a great read!
I hope we can turn things around because the children won’t forgive us easily
They will not remember us kindly for sure unless we do something right now. Glad there are people like you spreading the word. Keep up the good work 😁
your encouragement is valued… thanks again
