The other thing that I became more aware of after watching that movie is that there is no way that recycling or reducing packaging or choosing to use less plastic is ever going to fix the problem. There is just too much plastic being produced, and the amount continues to grow. Consumers can help with their actions, but we cannot and should not be held responsible for the clean-up. The big corporations all along the production chain, who are making billions of dollars selling items made out of or packaged within plastic, need to take responsibility and be accountable for the pollution that they create, not only in our air and water but on the ground, all over the world. They should not be allowed to make huge profits at the expense of consumers.
So that is my rant for the day. It's a long one, about a topic that I get very emotional about. So I guess it's fitting that this is my last post for this Challenge. I've had fun, learned a lot, and stoked the fire of motivation to help me transform knowledge into action. Thanks, all. I wish you well. Stay safe, but not too safe! ;-)
