basically i want to help save the earth.
what a big goal. me? one person to save the whole world? what a silly thing to try to reach for, right?
take it like this then... domino effect, if you tip over that first domino the rest run like a train! but my point is... if i spread the word to you, and you spread it to the next.. inevitably it will get around to just about every person (at least in america) and thats the first and biggest step we can all take as a country & a planet as a whole.
why arent we enraged about pollution, the ocean, the bees, our trees?
>did you know that three-fourths of the world’s flowering plants and about 35 percent of the world’s food crops depend on animal pollinators to reproduce.
have you heard that bees are disappearing and bats are dying? from habitat loss, disease, parasites, and environmental contaminants. they all contributed to the decline of many species of pollinators. in other words bees, butterflies and moths, birds and bats, and beetles and other insects are essential to us for our sources of food. no pollinators, no food. no food, no humans. this is all because of our waste (& a couple other small things but mainly waste!)
>another fact! the ocean is the life support system for the planet, providing 50% of the oxygen we breathe and regulating climate. the ocean is also the pump that allows us to have fresh water.
so basically if our ocean dies... so do we.
also let me add, if we're getting our fresh water from the ocean.... ew... and the ocean is full of nasty filthy garbage, you're drinking that garbage. how does that make you feel to think about that?
you wouldn't eat off a plate that was in the dumpster.. bc THATS GROSS... so why would you keep throwing garbage in our water hole?
IS THIS STUFF NOT SCARING YOU?
this is all real life, the real life that each & everyone of us are living day by day! how many of you (me included) really pay attention to the amount of waste you collect in a day? how many squares of TP do you use when you go to the bathroom? that shampoo bottle you just threw away. that wrapper from your candy bar. all those bags from chic-fil-a & taco bell.
what my big picture is that i'm getting at, id i want everyone to be aware, MORE aware of the garbage that they have.
i challenge you to go through your home and find one thing to replace & start using a no waste company each week! ill share a link in each of my blogs from now on supporting a company that does no waste. it'll be your job to take on that challenge. together we can make the world a better place. we can fix what's broken, but it takes all of us, collectively to work as a TEAM to build our world up.
i know some people might skip over my blog, or read it and laugh and carry on... but if one person changes, that's one step forward. dont be afraid to be that one.
(bc i was almost embarrassed to start this blog, i understand)
it has to start somewhere!
below is a link to one (of many) no waste cleaners. you pay $39 for the initial kit & only $2 for refills! how cool is that?? cheap & they deliver! (ugh covid)
just remember, one step!!
