Let’s take some actions NOW… Make Everyday Earth Day

A few weeks ago I bumped into the pocket book “be green" by Monica Sheerhan. The book of course has to do with the Eco conscience that everyday grows stronger in each one of us. I went through it and at the end and as the author wittily mentions I made a pledge.

Start small and be committed to the pledge, me? promise myself never use plastic bags or plastic bottler ever again. It’s necessary to mention why plastic bags and bottlers are a huge bad impact to the environmental, is necessary to mention than although plastic bags consume 40% less energy to produce take 1,000 years to decompose. Plastic is made from petroleum and it lasts almost forever. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT EVERY PIECE OF PLASTIC EVER MADE IS STILL IN EXISTENCE ?? most surprising is that over 380 billion plastic bags, sacks and wraps are consumed in the U.S. each year and according to the National Geographic magazine, more than 500 billion plastic bags are consumed worldwide in a year.
Because these plastic bags are not properly disposed they become decorative accessories of parks, trees, streets, oceans, beeches, neighborhoods, and roadsides causing harm to the wildlife. Every year it is estimated that 100,000 marine life animals are killed because of the amount of plastic bags that contaminate the ocean. It’s crucial that all people try to reduce their use of plastics, especially plastics we use only once and throw away. Plastic bags are not biodegrade, instead they breakdown into smaller and smaller toxic bits that birds feed their babies. Every year, thousands of sea turtles, seabirds, and other animals are sickened, injured, or killed because of trash in the ocean.

Say NO to plastic bags and bring your F#$%^& reusable bags!!!

Don't know who you are but may God bless you with the perfect man,
a great job, a beautiful mansion, healthy twins and a closet full with Manolo Blahnik

Readers let’s take action or at least I will, open your eyes, listen to your planet, everyone can make a difference and help protect the ocean and their marine life. Here are some things that you and your families can do:

1. Use reusable bottles for water and other drinks. (By using just one reusable bottle, you will keep 167 single-use plastic bottles from entering the environment.

2. Bring cloth or reusable bags to the grocery store to carry your things. (For each reusable bag you use, it will save approximately 400 plastics from being used).

3. Reuse or recycle the plastic bags you already have. (For every thirteen plastic bags you don’t use, you will save enough petroleum to drive a car one mile).

4. Learn more and share ideas with others on how to reduce plastic use.

5. Don’t litter. Ever. (But you knew that already) REUSE!!
