The documentary „Humans – Destroyers of earth“ shows how dramatic climate changing is. Plastic in the oceans, dying forests, less and less wood, rising global temperatures, arctic that is likely to become ice-free and so on. These are all serious problems our generation needs to fix very soon. Otherwise it could be too late for our planet.
What we are experiencing today is not just an environmental crisis, it’s a geological revolution. Caused by humans. Scientists are very worried, they constantly try to find some ways to fix it.
I was researching about the topic of plastic and I found a few important points, how we could reduce the consummation of plastic (beside recycling it the right way):
- carry reusable bags (cotton)
- “to stay” and not “to go” (example: coffee, pizza)
- order a drink without the straw – most of the time it is not necessary
- wear natural clothes, not synthetic
- shop your local farmers market (with your reusable bag!)
- choose plastic-free chewing gum
- etc…
There is an organization called “4Ocean” which produce very beautiful bracelets made out of ocean plastic. As well as Adidas. They are selling sport gears made out of garbage they found in the ocean. On their homepage they advertise with a few terrible facts: Every minute a truck full of plastic gets into the ocean. Until 2050 there might be more plastic in the ocean than fishes. On their homepage are much more facts.
In my opinion it’s a great idea and a big step towards this problem to reuse the plastic.

Our generation need to change. We need to learn to renounce a few things, because no one wants our home to be risk. Our next generation, our kids, someday they will be thankful about it.
