What is next?
Plastic is good, plastic is bad. Plastic can be better if we humans know how to do better. Everything will go wrong if we do not watch our hands-on how to deal with plastics.
The real trouble maker, single use-plastics,
let's stop using them.
Do not let them end up in our environment or in an incinerator.
There is no guarantee that we will have a future.
Today matters.
Let's take action now in order for our children to have a beautiful and healthy future.
