Time to say.....

Well, this particular journey now comes to an end. I had fun researching our collective garbage problem and trying to make a difference through my small clean-ups. 

I believe that caring for and cleaning up our planet has to start with small changes. 

I think that we do need a societal shift to producing and consuming less, which flies in the face of our current understanding of traditional economic growth. Everyone knows about the three R’s by now, but the first one is very often ignored. The emphasis should be on Reducing first and foremost. I plan on joining my local environmental group and trying to make a difference with their support and aid. 

I encourage all of you to get outside and make a small dent by starting your own mini-clean ups.

On a positive note, The Ocean Cleanup and Boyan Slat just posted this video...it’s very encouraging that there are bright lights like him working on our garbage problem.

See you soon!
