down. Straws are very lightweight and often wind up in our
oceans and on our beaches where they are
a danger to marine life. Plastics never biodegrade -- they
just break into smaller and smaller pieces.
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation predicts that by 2050 there
will be more pounds of plastic than fish in
the ocean.
If Straws are doing this can you IMAGINE what all the rest
of your plastic trash is doing?!
Please, I am begging all my readers at Ageless to see the
film Plastic Ocean.
I sobbed during the whole film (but as decent human beings
we MUST FACE THIS TOGETHER)…
Plastics are now one
of the most common pollutants of ocean waters worldwide. Pushed by winds, tides and currents, plastic particles
form with other debris into large swirling glutinous accumulation zones, known
to oceanographers as gyres, which comprise as much as 40 percent of the planet's
ocean ...
When you pile up your trash and throw it away it HAS TO GO
SOMEWHERE.
we DO NO HAVE A PLANET B AND ITS HIGH TIME WE ALL TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY.
I have not ever posted anything like this. Here at Ageless
we are fun and upbeat.
But, as a caring person living and breathing on this earth I
am completely compelled after all I have seen
and come to realize just how important it is that we all
take responsibility and do our part and create less waste.
There is nothing fun and upbeat about polluted oceans and a
toxic trash filled environment.
WE did this. WE can undo it!
If any of you have
children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews YOU MUST SEE THESE FILMS.
I PROMISE YOU BEYOND ANY DOUBT THEY WILL CAREFULLY AND FULLY
SHOW YOU WHY IT’S SO IMORTANT TO HAVE LESS AND LESS WASTE
AND TO DO OUR PART TO RECYLCE and to PROTECT AND RESPECT OUR
PLANET!

Thank you so much for the comments can you please post here instead of email. I appreciate it very much!
Thanks for sharing this really important message with your readers. I agree that it can be overwhelming to face just how much environmental damage humans are responsible for, but that doesn't mean change isn't possible. Hope your post inspires others to make the little changes that do add up. (At a minimum, you've inspired me to get better informed on the topic with all your film and book recommendations!)
Since seeing the movie, Plastic Ocean, which disturbed me and inspired me into action, I am an avid advocate for eliminating plastics and fighting plastic pollution. I was ignorant and complacent like most of us before. Now, I recycle all plastics and try to avoid buying anything plastic. I always use to bring my own bags and will continue to do so as I have them in my car all the time. I am also talking to restaurants owners about the reduction of plastic straws or elimination, including utensils and plastic bags. I am making all of my friends and groups aware of the toxic effect of plastic pollution in our oceans and landfills. Please join the Movement... NO Plastic Straw Please!
This post is one of the most important of our lifetime. I am happy that you are concerned about plastic pollution as most of us have no clue about where our plastic trash goes and we just don't seem to care, at least some of us. You are such a caring person from reading so much of your posts in the past and to date. Please ask your readers to see the movie, Straws by Linda Booker. It is another great one to open our eyes. God bless you!
