Take a piece of plastic from the beach, the ocean, the waterfront, the pier, the bay, the river, the creek, the puddle. Just one.
Spread the idea: Take a selfie, post it, share it. Encourage others to do the same. (… if you like the idea.)
Make it a pyramid scheme of plastic removal.
If everyone takes plastic away from the beaches of the world, one piece at a time – and no more plastic gets added – it will take only a few hundred years to have all beaches and all oceans practically plastic-free.
Obviously, the idea is not really perfect.
But instead of turning catatonic… and repeating that humans have ruined the planet and/or tweeting that we need to move to Mars when this planet is sucked dry and discarded (Mars, which – by the way – has no beaches and no ocean)… we thought it would be great to do something small that will change something small. And get other people to join in.
We’re already three people committed to this idea.
Susanna, Daniel, Stefan…
Could you be number four?
