We realized that burning fossil fuels is a huge cause of more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, but we didn't know enough about plastic formation!
|
We saw how many different types of plastics are manufactured, and sadly how their disposal can affect many parts of Earth's systems, just not the atmosphere during the manufacturing process. We saw how plastics often end up in waterways, and began researching the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
We read through this article, too, explaining in depth what's going on and how it relates to a pretty dangerous phenomena: microplastics.
All this negativity has gotten us down. How can we positively make a difference? All this chatter about fossil fuel consumption, plastic overuse, the negative effects of microplastics has gotten us thinking, "WE CAN DO BETTER!"
