I recycle everything I can. Hopefully doing my bit. Although it is clearly not enough.
This is quite sad. We should put a conscious effort to save our environment. Sad
I recycle as well. It is really sad to see, even in advanced countries where all infrastructure is implemented to make recycling as easy as possible, that people still choose not to do it.
What if I told you there is a fungi that eats polyurethane that was found in the Amazon?
Awesome post. This is horrible. I never new this is whats going on. We have a eco friendly systems on the farm is so important. Thanks for sharing!
Hi I was led by a steemian friend to see your post..As a chemist, I am familiar with these issues.
I consider to vote for you as a witness if the environmental subject is part of your agenda, is it?
It's not my witness agenda, but as a tenant on this planet, it is something I care about.
Thanks for your reply, I am a beginner in Steemit were can I see your agenda?

@themarkymark great post! I’m very conscious of recycling and try by best to recycle as much as I can. I think if we want people to do it more often then it has to be easy. That’s why I’m a big proponent of single stream recycling and curbside pickup. I just moved to an area that is more rural than I’ve ever lived before and was appalled to find out there is no curbside recycling or trash. And even the county dump only has cardboard and aluminum recycling. I have to drive almost 30 minutes to recycle glass and plastic. So I’m going to have to figure out a better way to recycle.
Plastic bag and bottles should be discontinued. There are people in India that die in landfills while looking for valuables in a mountain of plastic bottles.
This huge disaster connects me to a a Dutch person, named Boyan Slat, who is preparing to take a huge shot in cleaning the trash in the ocean.
Here is the website --> https://www.theoceancleanup.com/
I believe the world as one has to take an action and change its habits.
My brother was traveling in Indonesia a few summers back and he told me that a barely saw a trash can in the three weeks being across the country. Indonesia is apparently planning to take an action about this.
As a nature lover, I hope the world will improve, but a single person cannot do it alone.
Have you watched the documentary A Plastic Ocean? I highly recommend it if not! Absolutely horrific what we are doing to the environment. My biggest intention for 2018 - Cut out plastic from my life entirely!
No, I haven't, I will check it out.
this is an ongoing issues that causes floods in the street, weve experienced it many times and thats the only time we all realized the importance of garbage management.. This is really a worst scenario when we can no longer fish because of this human behavior..
Shit...this is sad....will follow your channel now...
