There was a time where plastic was a great invention, why wouldn’t we want everything made to be indestructible and long-lasting? Well now we know the damage it does to the world and we can change it.

It is definitely more trouble to care than to ignore this problem. It is costly, stressful and frustrating. That is the truth. You’ll have to spend money to save the planet. You’ll become stressed trying to make changed to your lifestyle. You’ll get frustrated when you make an eco mistake or have to buy something with plastic. You’ll get frustrated when people around you don’t understand, when businesses do not change or if you work for a place that has a lot of waste. You’ll almost definitely experience these feelings but with them come some positive aspects.

You’ll save money in the long run and save the earth at the same time. You’ll learn how to create habits. You’ll learn self discipline. You’ll have confidence and heightened identity. You’ll have people you can relate too. You’ll have strong morals. You’ll live healthier and happier. You’ll know you’re making the difference that you can.

It is worth it.
