Carol with the story of plastic part 2 and some very disturbing news which has just made me shake my head.
Asia particularly is drowning in plastic…Trash becomes trash after it has been used…once it has served its purpose…Most solutions are consumer not manufacturer led.
I think this beautiful image drawn and painted by Rishika perfectly depicts my drowning in plastic comment…she really is a skilful artist…Thank you Rishika for letting me use this image…
Cleanups although admirable are not the solution they don’t make the problem go away…

Yes, Carol and also how money rules regardless of whether it harms the planet or not. I get down at times with all that’s going on worldwide but then I watch a video or read a story on your blog about people combating this and get energised again. lol, I was that kid too. I once asked “okay so who were God’s parents and who were their parents?” xxx

Indeed, Adele.. I watched a documentary some months ago on the plight of the huge mountains of plastic landfill sites and just how it is impacting India and other nations…

Sending love and Blessings your way… Much love ❤ Sue
