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.
