I know I know - another long post about the environment (yay!!). But please if you have the time, read on! The pacific garbage patch (stuck floating in the ocean between California and Hawaii) is now twice as big as the ENTIRE STATE of Texas. It’s so easy to get caught up day to day and not think about all the waste we produce, and where it ends up. Single use plastics are one of the culprits for major environmental degradation in so many aspects (ranging from water and air pollution to waste accumulation, to biodiversity loss!! - that’s the polar bears and turtles people!) a few months ago I started carrying around a reusable set of bamboo utensils from @patagonia and my extra hydro flask straw (and my trusty hydroflask itself of course) and it’s amazing when you actually notice the amount of waste we can unconsciously accumulate. im definitely guilty of forgetting them sometimes, but all efforts count for something! Americans use 500 million plastic straws EVERY. DAY! #saynotoplastic, and bring your own (straws&utensils&bottles&everything!) We’re all on this planet together, so let’s do our part to help protect this place. Oh, and happy #worldenvironmentday! #planetorplastic #pacificgarbagepatch (at Oahu)

Did you know that Americans throw away at least 300 million pairs of shoes each year, which then end up in landfills and take over 30 years to decompose? Did you also know that the number of children who have never owned a pair of shoes is around 300 million? (No shoes is one of the primary indicators for “abject poverty”: the most severe level defined as people “without hope”). AND did you know that there’s an easy fix? If you‘re going to get rid of your shoes (let’s be honest, we all have too many in the first place and only wear a few of all the pairs we own), recycle them or donate them! Whether it be to your local thrift store or to an organization such as Soles4Souls (link in bio), taking the 5-10 extra minutes to drop them off instead of chuck them out can help provide a perfectly good pair of shoes to a person in need! #themoreyouknow #wearoutpoverty #peoplehelpingpeople!!
