Let's Talk Trash !

The initiative is as always, going to be self-driven at first.  The video that Capt. Charles Moore talking about the "Seas of Plastic" expresses deeply among some, but others ignore it because they truly don't care.  Personally, I care about the life that lives in our oceans, but I'm lazy when it comes to talking about the subject or helping out at all.  Moore had talked about ways to reduce the amount of plastic waste that is found in our oceans & I agree on those ideas; but I have a thought of my own & my ways differ from his.  It's possible to add other ideas to work among the ones that he'd mentioned in the video:  http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/capt_charles_moore_on_the_seas_of_plastic.html

The best plan is to do simple things to reduce your use.  Change starts at the bottom & if you want to make a difference, start with changing your own buying habbits.  When you get home from the store, don't throw the grocery bags away.  Recycle them & use them again for other purposes.  Water bottles, pop bottles...they can all be reused to store cold, fresh water in the refrigerator.  Aluminum cans can also be recycled & you could even earn money for recylcing them.

There are many places where you can dispose of your 'trash' properly without contributing to the world epidemic of 'Plastic Seas'.

"We have better solutions now than throwaway bags, but if those don't come from sustainable sources themselves, we, the consumer, always engage in a certain amount of equivocation in supporting them. Corporate accountability is not an insignificant or irrelevant part of this process."  This was stated by Sam Spencer about the video & I agree with that statement.  This also goes back to the statement of change that I had made.  We should all engage in doing our share of cleaning up to help save our oceans & provide a better percentage of homeostasis.  After all, it is our world that we live in; so ask yourself, "What can I do to make a difference in the world?"
