How Much Difference Can This Make
Plastics don’t biodegrade and as a consequence the ingestion of plastic is deadly for sea life. It is also dangerous for the entire food chain including us humans being the very end link. Plastics have a massive effect to our bird and sea life. Fish, sea mammals and birds swallow plastics mistaking it for food. Over time plastics block the animals digestion and it will no longer be able to feed and will die. It doesn’t end there.
Also the chemicals in plastics are released into the water as well as the atmosphere. Fish and sea life become contaminated from these chemicals in the water. There is also evidence that that micro-plastics and even smaller nano-plastics can move from a fish’s stomach to its muscle tissue, which we humans then eat.
We have an environmental responsibility to minimize our impact on the environment. We collect all plastic packaging to re use or for recycling including very tiny scraps.
We hope we can inspire and influence others to have the same care for our planet. Lets treat our paradise in the way that it deserves and do our bit to preserve it for future generations.
