Plastic Pollution - Let's say 'NO' to plastic bags/packets

It is really heart breaking to see how much of a mess and damage we have caused and are continuing to do to our planet – Mother Earth.

‘Plastic Pollution’ is taking over and is our biggest crime.  But what can we do? We are so deep into it that it seems impossible to climb out.  We are surrounded by plastic: - keyboards, cell phones, grocery bags, water and cool drink bottles, food containers, shoes, hair accessories etc.   We so deep into it that we have even created plastic green grass/lawn and trees!!!

It seems like we are trying to convert nature – all that is pure to plastic – all that is damaging and unhealthy.  Are we not fooling ourselves…we are becoming plastic – Non- biodegradable!  We don’t realise how much “plastic” has become part of our lives and how much we depend on its use until you stop and take stock… shocking!!!


Sad to say my family and I have also been major contributors as well, we are sooo deep into it ourselves I wondered how to begin to make this change, then I realised…one step at a time…So my New Year’s Resolution for this year was;  ‘Say “No” to plastic bags/packets’, for starters. Must say it has not been so easy getting the family to remember to take the cloth bags with them when they went out shopping or to even use them, but slowly I see they are getting the hang of it.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all just say, “No” to plastic bags/packets, for now…Step One!

Anyway that was me having my say…please have a look at www.mother-nature-blog.com and share with your friends, if you likeJ.


Lots of love and please let’s say “No” to plastic bags/packets…

Environmental Pollution


Issues such as: 

  • recycling, 
  • organic gardening, 
  • biodiversity, 
  • home food gardens and 
  • a desire to live more in harmony with nature 
are of top priority.









WHY RECYCLE?
Re-using plastic bags, making compost or recycling bottles make a difference to the environment.

HOW?
• It saves landfill space, reducing the need for new landfill areas (which tends to displace people and wildlife) and saves the cost of transporting waste.

• Non-degradable plastics (such as bottles and bags) wash into rivers and the sea, and kill fish, other sea life, birds and wildlife, either by strangulation or by starvation (they ingest the plastic and starve to death).


• The less paper, plastic, glass and metal we use, the less demand there is for industry to make them. This cuts down on the need for power generation and transport (and thus fuel consumption)


• Most importantly – it cuts down on air pollution, water pollution, Pollution in general.


Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction. So please, let’s all make a concerted effort to re-cycle, if you haven’t started, please do so NOW!
