HAPPY JUNE 5TH AKA WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY. (Photo by Paul Chesley) 

This is the 45th year of World Environment Day. The host is China and the theme is Air Pollution. The air we breathe is not clean, and some places toxic. Household fuels, Agriculture, Transport and Industry are leading causes of air pollution. Read here to find out more and ways you can help. https://www.worldenvironmentday.global/?bif=2&xv=1

I want to take this chance to post some POSITIVE things happening right now for our Mama Earth. I know so many of us, including myself, are feeling discouraged and hopeless. 

1. Coral Reefs in Hawaii are making a COMEBACK 

2. The EU government banned several plastics & plastic products 

3. Puerto Rico aims to have 100% renewable energy by 2050

4. The hole in the Ozone layer is healing and suspected to fully heal in 50 years! (if we keep on the green change we are doing now)

5. Mountain Gorillas, Humpback Whales, and Pandas are making a comeback from the endangered list thanks to all the hard work from conversationists. 

These are just a few-- so many companies, states, and countries are trying to move to sustainable, clean energy. What I'm even happier to see is what WE, are doing. You may think your actions don’t make a difference. You’re wrong because you are a part of a WAVE. The reduced waste, green living, zero waste wave is growing larger and forcing companies to instill ethical & sustainable practices. In a consuming society WE decide what we buy, that’s our voice to companies. If we refuse plastic, and TOXIC products, If we refuse to buy, they have to listen and change their ways to adapt to the times. Make companies adapt to us, and the Earth. 

  These companies only care about money, well let them know our money is going towards caring for our health and environment.

Whenever you buy factory-farmed animal products, something wrapped in plastic, or something filled with toxic ingredients, you are telling the company that you and 10 others want that product, and they will continue to supply the demand. #recycle #compostable #wild #earth #banplastics #banfactoryfarms #health #ourfuture #ourplanetourfuture https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx-m5n5jVub/?igshid=tyhjcg1klc53

plastic |ˈplastik'| bag ?

Single use plastic shopping bags are made from high density polyethylene (usually abbreviated to HDPE) – the same plastic that is used for two litre milk and juice containers but much thinner. HDPE is made from oil and it takes 1.75 kilograms of oil (in terms of energy and raw materials) to make one kilogram of HDPE.
