#peoplenotplastic

Heya peeps~ New Mexico, just two years ago started a bags to benches initiative, according to Las Cruces Sun-News. Since 2013 a reported 10,000 lbs. of plastic have been converted into park benches. What can you make from discarded plastic? Perhaps a hammock, check out this site that details what 500 plastic bags can do!

Dumbplastic and la green grounds ;) Here is to locally sourced food and a sustainable future. Honestly, if we could even get the plastic lid off the bottle and change the fact that the bottle is metal (although far more Eco/healthy than plastic. It's also locally made from 100% recycled aluminum), we would be multiple steps closer to sustainability for all.

So let us not be petty when our #cause is so #great. Let us not quarrel amongst ourselves when our nations #future is at stake. Let us stand together in renewed #confidence in out cause. From the speech JFK never delivered. We are all people that can up for what we know to be true, it's time! #theworldisnotaconveniencestore #peoplenotplastic #dumbplastic

Then we head to #crenshawhighschool and plant it, grow it, feed the hood! We all come together as a #community and we all participate! Reminder to say no to single use and eat local! Peace, #dumbplastic #saynotosingleuse #peoplenotplastic

The Issues Plastics were developed in the early 20th century and were environmentally important, replacing ivory, tortoiseshell, horn and other plant and animal products. By the 1960's plastic had gone from being used in durable items to widespread use including disposable plastic packaging. Every piece of plastic ever produced still remains somewhere in the earth today. In the last half of the 20th century over 1 billion tonnes of plastic was produced. This figure has already doubled in the first ten years of this century. See the rest at : http://www.plasticfreejuly.org/the-issues.html The issue is real, plastic is not the answer. Small differences in your daily life can cause an industry to change. Say NO to single use #peoplenotplastic #plasticisnotforcharity #saynotosingleuse #nextgeneration #reuseit Say no to large and small water bottle companies. Bring a darn cup to Starbucks for the iced frappa-whatever. Seriously, we need to downsize the convenience. #bringthecanteen #rockthatreusable #dumbplastic Say no to #aquahydrate #peoplewater #nikawater #thankyouwater #cocacola #changeyourbrandsavealife #dropfordrop #gatorade#grestpacificgarbagepatch
