Defying Plastic
Nature • 4m 54s
Directed by Talia Schizzano
Plastic Pollution is everywhere and the facts are overwhelming. It may feel impossible to get away from plastic these days. Living in South Florida, I am able to witness first hand how much plastic ends up on our beaches and in the ocean. It's devastating. The solution to reversing plastic pollution is complex, but it can be simplified by taking a few easy steps in our every day lives. There are far too many people in the world who are buying water bottles and using plastic bags at the stores. It's convenient and has become a normal part of our society. We must DEFY this plastic lifestyle to make a difference! If enough people rally together and make this happen we CAN make a change.
