@LBEM203 There's a couple main points:
1. It's difficult for some to find out where to begin (look out for PickWaste clean-ups, or start one of your own!)
2. Like how Sam and Dillon started picking up litter, it was kind of odd, so grab a few friends and you'll feel alot more comfortable!

Plastic pollution is a growing issue that has many components that has negative effects socially, ecologically and economically. There is only a short period of time until nothing can be undone but we can still save the planet. #EM203Problem #em203Robin

@EnactusLaurier is focusing on aiding the plastic pollution problem with their unique startups @EarthSudsCo and LASTXX Apparel to combat plastic pollution. #em203Robin

@EM203Caroline Hey Caroline, I am researching a similar issue and I really like the research you found and shared online to educate us.

Expressing creativity is so important with any work you do in life. It allows you to put your own individual signature that demonstrates who you are. Theres no right or wrong formula, there’s just you! #em203Robin

Hey everyone this is my info graphic of one component of plastic pollution which is a plastic water bottle. Sometimes we often over look a simple thing we use everyday but has many negative impacts. #em203Robin

[Lauren Barnes @LBEM203]

Hey @Pickwaste ! I’m doing a research assignment for class and since you’re an expert in the field of environment and picking up waste, I want to know what you think is the biggest challenge with this issue from social/consumer standpoint? #Em203Robin #plasticpollution

Collective changes are needed to help lower absolute poverty levels. One solution alone is not sufficient #EM203Robin

I think the most important thing to remember with education and how entrepreneurship fits is that it's a process! Nothing happens overnight! But laying the foundation with structure will provide the best path to societal success! #EM203Robin

This is a tiny edible water bottle that will put an end to the plastic pollution problem but its 100% ability to not produce waste! #em203Robin

How many headlines like this must we read before we change our actions? #PlasticPollution https://t.co/nqhCOKx9VA

Look at Canada finally heading in the right direction to help end plastic pollution!🤗 #EM203robin #EM203Research

[TIPA-Corp @TIPACorp]

In light of issues like global warming, improper recycling practices and more recently, stories of Canadian waste shipped to the Philippines, Justin Trudeau has announced plans to ban single-use plastics in Canada by 2021. https://t.co/nhydHsuY6o

[Sarah McCormick EM203 @EM203smccormick]

@LBEM203 very interesting concept map. It's crazy to see all the effects plastic pollution has created. Trudeau's announcement to ban single use plastic by 2021 is a step in the right direction towards reducing the plastic pollution #EM203Problems

@LBEM203 The ways learning and communication have evolved over time is amazing. Although, in Adam Alter's book, Irresistible, he explains new mediums of communication are allowing the younger generation to lack communication and social skills face to face.

@EM203smccormick #EM203problems Hi sarah! Loved your concept map another issue you may want to explore is how the government plays a role. They can have a great impact on the outcome of resolving this problem.

[Lauren Barnes @LBEM203]

@NatalieZammit #EM203problems I loved your concept map there was a lot of different things connecting to the issue of environmental degradation. Another point that might be contributing to this problem is consumerism with unsustainable consumption habits.

[Lauren Barnes @LBEM203]

@brimark3 #EM203problems From looking at your concept map you might also explore the idea of anxiety and stress and how it plays a role the issue of depression. What steps people need to take to overcome that aspect of mental health with the right support!
