In the vast pacific ocean lies a small patch of garbage. Also known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, it weighs in at about a 2,000,000,000 pounds and an estimated 1.8 trillion individual pieces of plastic dwell in it. The patch is bigger than the state of California and the matter is definitely concerning. But you have read a lot about these types of patches already. This blog is not another memo warning about the ill effects of the plastics. Rather, it discusses how you and I can make a change. Lets begin with stopping the use of aluminium and plastic wraps, instead we can use the reusable cloth wraps which are easy to use and need just the warmth of your hand to mold into desired shapes. Another big problem are the plastic bottles. They pile on and on and make for an easy waste. Alternatively, we can start using reusable bottles. Stainless steel bottles make for a great alternative to plastic bottles and are even look cooler. The third thing I have for today's blog are the reusable coffee cups. The paper cups are not easy to compost. The wax coating makes their life much longer than the sustainable decomposition period. The reusable coffee cups, however, are just reusable. Much more efficient and much more beautiful. It is magical to see yourself save your own planet.
