Today it's plastics, yesterday I heard of another substance, that's counted among "forever chemicals" (PFAS) that we created and that will never ever disappear. And we use them just as lightheartedly as plastics.
We consider nuclear power a "green energy" because it produces less carbon emissions. But what about the hazardous trash it produces that we need to store somewhere and that pollutes it's surroundings? I strongly believe we should consider that for "green" choices as well.
I feel we act way to careless and selfish, when it comes to our environment.
I try to reduce plastics as much as I can in my daily use. I take shopping bags with me, use lunch boxes, have a soda stream at home, use refillable soaps or even shampoo bars.
Every little steps counts and if we all start small, we will still make a big movement. Just like the ripples become bigger, when you throw a rock into the water.
Thank you all for making our world a better place!
