Using plastic water bottles and our need for plastic is the first issue we’ll address here. WATER is LIFE and we are the stewards for this Earth and her inhabitants.
First, thank you for wanting to be a part of the solution to this urgent situation with WATER and POLLUTION! Many folks still use a plastic water bottle or straws or plasticware … only ONCE and then throw it away! It feels like it must be time to WAKE UP … look around our World and see what’s happening. There are still many unaware and unconscious people on this planet … we just need to look around at how the oceans are suffocating and life is dying, from our trash and our plastic bottles and waste! Please help with the “little things” too; by our example of paying attention ourselves, then teaching our children to be respectful: to nature, each other and all living creatures. Being kind to each other is also a priority! We offer suggestions and we’re sharing about HOW to “Make a Difference”. It takes each one of us to make a change, and together we can!

“Our oceans are being filled and killed by throwaway plastics. But together, we can create a movement to reduce throwaway plastic at the source and save our oceans. Oceana and our allies are already winning plastic-free victories — victories that aren’t possible without your help.” Oct 9, 2019

What can I do?
Wouldn’t this nice to have for the critters? Interesting concept.
“Most of these plastic six-pack rings end up in our oceans and pose a serious threat to wildlife. Together with Saltwater Brewery, a small craft beer brand in Florida whose primary target are surfers fishermen and people who love the sea, we decided to tackle the issue head on and make a statement for the whole beer industry to follow. We ideated, designed, prototyped and manufactured Edible Six Pack Rings. A six-pack packaging design that instead of killing animals, feeds them.”

Please check all your home faucets and fix ANY leaks. This is such a waste of precious water!
FYI: Look for more ways to be EFFICIENT when using water … like shutting off the water when you are brushing your teeth!
GLASS can be used over and over … seems like the best alternative!

Did you know about the the 10 easy ways to use less plastic?
Just take a look at the news and see how many straws are found in the ocean!!
“And while plastic straws represent only a fraction of the overall tonnage of ocean plastic, they are less likely to make it into recycling bins, and their small size make them dangerous for marine animals and are consumed by fish.”
