    It was great. I am more aware. Today I went to the store with my son and he was going to get plastic bags but I talked him into paper.

    I would explain to them that the extraction, production, and disposal aspect of single use plastics is extremely harmful. We use so many plastics that there's a patch of plastics in the ocean called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch - it's twice the size of Texas!
