Today plastic has become one of the most essential yet most , part of our life. Plastics are not only polluting our environment but harming lives of every living being present on this planet in one or the other way. Poor water animals engulf it and loss tueir lives.Even humans eat tgese animals and tge poisin goes into their bodies.So., wby are we still using this whem we know that its consequences are more than its benefits.Plastics are non biodegradable in nature .It not only harm living beings but deplets the fertility of soil. We should atleast try to reduce its consumption and find ways to stop its consumption. Its a humble request from everyone out there to save the environment from plastics to save kur existance on earth. #saveenvironment #saynotoplastic #liveplasticfree #cleanenvironment #saveearth #savemotherearth #savelife #saveanimals #saveplants #begreen #afforestation #pollutionfree https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ou3gpADl3/?igshid=uerylk83yagt

We can and must do better!! #repost @plasticpollutes ・・・ Heartbreaking 💔 The orphaned 8-month-old dugong that was recently rescued in Thailand has passed away. An autopsy showed numerous bits of tiny plastic in her intestines. Vets say the cause of her death was the combination of shock and ingesting plastic. 😢 We need to do better. We can’t keep making choices for the sake of convenience that jeopardize our planet and the amazing creatures that call it home. #plasticpollutes #plastickills #saveourseas #saveouroceans #planetnotplastic #liveplasticfree #bethechange https://www.instagram.com/p/B1VLEUOBJkO/?igshid=1ldxfafwq4arw

In elementary school, I was taught to never do drugs and to always "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle." I *love* sorting glass, plastic, and paper into their separate containers. Sometimes, when people aren't looking, I fetch their plastic bottles out of the trash. Recently, while on vacation, I even drove two large boxes of recycleables 150 miles to the nearest drop location because there were none in the county where we were visiting. Now what they don't tell us in school though is that recycling is a myth when it comes to plastics. While glass and metal can forever become new glass and metal, plastic gets downcycled into increasingly inferior material until it must be thrown away. A used plastic bottle can never become a new plastic bottle, and all of it will eventually end up as waste of one form or another. SOAP & SHAMPOO (change made) - Yeah, yeah, I know Bath & Body Works is having a sale, but pump soap dispensers can't be recycled due to their small parts. Plus soap needs to be replaced every few months, adding to your overall plastic rapsheet. Our household is opting for bar soap, and I'm making the switchover to an all natural shampoo bar. Less chemicals is also better for the skin & hair! TOOTHBRUSH (working on) - Confession: I'm a sucker for freebies. Thanks to the dentist's office, I haven't paid for a new toothbrush in years. It's a hard thing to pull out your wallet and pay for something that you normally get for free. BUT next time I go in for a cleaning, I'm going to finally say no to that little baggie with the free floss and start buying my own biodegradeable bamboo toothbrush. #zerowaste #zerowasteweek #zerowasteweek2017 #plasticfree #liveplasticfree #reducereuserecycle #recycling #ozette #ozettelake #olympicnp #olympicnationalpark #pnw (at Ozette Lake)

Reposted from @plasticpollutes - Another whale with a belly full of plastic has washed ashore in Sardinia, Italy. And this one was pregnant.⁣ ⁣ According to reports, the beached whale had 49lbs. of plastic in its stomach, including garbage bags, fishing nets, lines, tubes, a bag of a washing machine liquid still identifiable with brand and barcode, and other objects that were no longer identifiable.⁣ ⁣ Sergio Costa, Italy's environmental minister, stated: "We've used the 'comfort' of disposable objects in a lighthearted way in the past years and now we are paying the consequences. Indeed the animals, above all, are the ones paying them."⁣ ⁣ The time to make a change is NOW. Our planet and the remarkable creatures who call it home are suffering.⁣ 🐋⁣💔 #plasticpollutes #plastickills #saveouroceans #savethewhales #refusesingleuse #refusesingleuseplastic #bethechange #liveplasticfree #planetnotplastic⁣ ⁣ ⁣ - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BvvHjUEjfif/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=379facmhum22

Let’s think about tomorrow. #liveplasticfree #TakeAction #Repost @cameronrussell with @get_repost ・・・ New York!! We have the power to stop plastic bag pollution once and for all! On Wednesday, June 6th, @nygovcuomo will be voting on a ban of plastics bags! 🌿Join me and the @modelactivist crew led by @renee.elizabethpeters on Wednesday, June 6th, or even before, call Governor Cuomo’s offices and urge him to ban the single-use plastic bag AND place a fee on alternative bags by supporting S7760/A9953, the ‘New York Bring Your Own Bag Act’. 🐋 Evidence demonstrates that plastic bag laws help reduce pollution in waterways. Los Angeles County experienced a 94 percent decline in plastic bag usage and a 30 percent reduction in paper bag usage after a ban on plastic and a 10-cent fee on paper went into effect. Plastic bag policies in the United Kingdom have led to almost a 30 percent reduction in plastic bag pollution found on the floor of the North Sea. 🙌🏼 Initial evidence from 2017, the first year after California’s first in the nation ban went into effect, shows a nearly 4.2 percent reduction from 2010 in plastic bags found on beaches statewide. New York should follow the lead of California and help demonstrate to the nation that reducing plastic pollution is possible. 📱Text ‘JUNE 6’ to 21333 on your phone to receive a reminder on June 6 to call the Governor. And let’s help prevent more wildlife and humans from suffering. #plasticocean #plasticplanet #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #banplasticbags #wildlifeconservation (photo @natgeo) (at Flatbush, Brooklyn)

@Regran_ed from @plasticpollutes - If we don’t change the way we produce and use plastic, there will be more plastic than fish in the sea by weight by 2050. The time to act is now. Refuse single-use plastic. #plasticpollutes #refusesingleuse #refusesingleuseplastic #saveouroceans #liveplasticfree #bethechange - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BrTMdSIjpdP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13x25jand5wtc

In the Great Bear rainforest on the Pacific coast, the forests brim with marine nutrients, absorbed from spawning salmon who die in its watershed. Land and sea intertwine, one nursing upon the other. One day though (as early as 2050, some estimate), our oceans will have more plastics swimming in it than fish. And the fish themselves will be full of plastic litter. Researchers estimate that a quarter of fish sold at markets today already contains microplastics, even more in our mussels & clams. When I walk the trails by our home, lined with fall colors, I wonder to myself: Is there a day when salmon trees will become plastic trees? Will we be plastic humans too?

"My game is this: each time I come out on deck from the bridge, I make a bet with myself that *this time* I will not see another plastic scrap. But I always, always lose. No matter the time of day or how many times a day I look, it's never more than a few minutes before I sight a plastic morsel bobbing by." - Capt. Charles Moore, Plastic Ocean The story of our plastic addiction, at its core, is about our throwaway lifestyle. More than a third of all plastic is disposable packaging. Plastic bags. Bottles. Clamshells. Stuff that gets tossed after a single use, but persists for centuries in our environment. This past Fall, we went on a roadtrip through the Four Corners region, then headed north thru Utah. At the turnoff to @canyonlandsnps, we made a stop on the side of the road to catch a view of Church Rock. The sandstone formation glows reddish gold against the backdrop of the La Sal Mountains, and your mind pauses in wonder. The thing I remember most vividly about Church Rock though was the disheartening amount of debris, mostly plastic bags & soda cups, strewn among the desert brush. Miles from any town, plastic junk dominates a place meant to remind us of a house of worship. Anna Lappé says that "every time you spend money, you're casting a vote for the kind of world you want." So, what is it that we believe in exactly? #saynotoplastic #banthebag #singleuseplastic #litter #thereisnoaway #liveplasticfree #gozerowaste #churchrock #utah
