Don’t choke the world

We are sorrounded by plastic and this is harming the planet. I saw this video where this girl tried to live without plastic and it was very doable. We just don’t have the time or inclination to make this effort. Human beings get used to change but getting them to change is the hard part. If we can stop using plastic water bottles, cutlery, plates and other products, we will help reduce the amount of waste by a lot. We need to protect the Earth. It is the only planet that can sustain life.
