“If the bees disappear off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”

2/3 #PlasticFreeJuly is about making small changes, choosing to refuse even just ONE single use item in our life. "It's a personal challenge, as part of a global effort." In 2021, 140million people refused 301 million single use plastic items. Isn't that incredible?
