    ☮️ I love the final analogy... That the ocean is many drops of water. If you think on this a moment, it puts everything into prospective. That one person can begin the change. BE THE CHANGE.

    Honestly people, I HATE what plastic and what it is doing to us as human beings and how it is destroying our beautiful planet. ALL form of plastic should be banned entirely.
