Earth Day 2018 | Drowning in Plastic

Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22. Worldwide, various events are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection. This year is focused on ending plastic pollution.

Minuscule plastic beads on a north Cornish beach

These tiny beads of plastic were found on a Cornish beach, so tiny if it wasn’t for the brightly coloured pieces they would have gone unnoticed. Easily swallowed by fish and other sea creatures. In other parts of the world the problem is enormous with whole rivers choked with discarded plastic. It is not only their problem to solve, but ours too as we only have the one planet.

We cannot change the world in a day, but together, each of us can change it for the better. This year pledge to reduce your use of plastic.
