The plastics from our pasts are washing ashore and effecting ecosystems and the animals that live among them. Educating and providing facts to motivate changes.
#pfplive Many plastics will sit on land and eventually pushed into rivers then dumped into the ocean that have led to problems like the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” in between Hawaii and California. https://t.co/6F9L18W7L4
I am around 6 and feel to be climbing! I noticed that we cannot get rid of every plastic container but ones like water bottles and food canisters can be minimize much easier.
#PFPLIVE Plastics can last 450 years; we could essentially recycle and/or re-purpose household plastics for generations. I do not purchase water bottles anymore, we get our water filled at a local water dispensary in plastic BPA free (5) gallon jugs, which lasts years.
#PFPLive We will be asking 5 questions to create an effective dialog on the discussion of how plastic has caused great issues around the world. Starting at 7:45 PM/PT
@MiashiaS#keepitcuteanddontlitter I agree. Also brings up a point in limiting our use and needs for single use plastics can help the cause as well. We bought (3) 5-gallon jugs that get filled up every week for our water source. We use to use over 50+ water bottles a week.
@MiashiaS#keepitcuteanddontlitter A2: Many countries have problems with mass amounts of trash and plastics. Some countries burn it causing respiratory issues to locals in those areas.
@MiashiaS#keepitcuteanddontlitter How sad. These single-use plastics do not break down for hundreds of years. They either will sit there for many years or get pushed into rivers and local water spots. Eventually pushed into oceans and have created areas like the "Great Pacific Land patch"
@MiashiaS A1: Knowledge and respect. People might not have an understanding or have been told to recycle and throw their trash away. Also, if it it is not being actively discussed or advertised around a community people might not feel inclined to do so. Integrity goes a long way.
