My Project: ** ENVIRONMENT **
I always have that need inside me to clean up the whole world.
Where ever I go I always see all the plastic bags and I wonder for myself where are that
going and end up. I see all our dirty rivers, parks streets and the dirty unhygienic places
where people live. I want to start a project to clean up my environment. If you have a
passion for something you will go that extra mile to reach your goal.
I will focus on to get the community involved in a cleaner more plastic free environment.
The most important is to educate the people what is the disadvantages of all the plastic
bags and what happened with the earth if we don’t try to recycle it. In order to do that the
community must be positive and the best is to learn a skill that we can do together.
“Our planet is the only one that we have and we must
look after her.”
What’s Bad About Plastic Bags (https://www.thoughtco.com/why-stop-using-plastic-bags-1204167)
“Plastic bags are not biodegradable. They fly off trash piles, garbage trucks, and landfills, and
then clog stormwater infrastructure, float down waterways, and spoil the landscape.
If all goes well, they end up in proper landfills where they may take 1,000 years or more to
break down into ever smaller particles that continue to pollute the soil and water.”
