Quit using single use plastics mini course
Kick your plastic habit to the curb and protect mama ocean with these easy life changes.
Do you keep hearing about the fate of our oceans but don't know what you can do to help? Perhaps you want to make changes in your daily life but it just feels really overwhelming to know what to do. The good news is that every single person can make a difference to protect our oceans.
There is a lot of talk right now about how our oceans are becoming choked with microplastics due to our reliance on single use plastics.
It has been predicted that by the year 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans.
Our oceans are under threat from plastic pollution caused by humans. As a society, we have become so disconnected from the earth that we no longer care about the impact that our actions are having.
With so many threats to our environment, it can seem overwhelming to know how just one person can make an impact.
But here's the thing.
We all have the ability to effect positive change in our everyday lives.
It is actually really easy to be aware of the issues that are affecting our environment and to make small changes in your life that can have a big impact.
Even if you live in the middle of a concrete jungle your daily actions are having more of an impact than you might think.
Don't worry we don't need the oceans (poem)
