I am revolted, disgusted, disturbed and hurt.

I see a disease spreading across our planet and it’s shaken me to my core, plastic pollution is slowly killing our Earth.

I am a huge documentary nerd and it seems like every time I watch a really good documentary my life changes and it did.

I watched The Plastic Pollution (a great documentary I recommend everyone watch) one night from the comfort of my home and suddenly all I could think about was plastics.

I am going to be writing on this topic a lot more but in this article I want to give an introduction to this multi-faceted problem and share my frustration with people on the internet.

I hate seeing our beautiful planet degrade and so much unnecessary suffering for humans and animals.

Our Dependency on Plastics

I was taking a normal walk outside but this time I tried something different, I played a mini game of iSpy with myself to find as many plastic things as I could.
