Reducing plastic waste to protect oceans and wildlife
Every tree counts! Protecting forests today ensures a healthier tomorrow.
I want my audience to start using reusable alternatives and spread awareness about how small changes can greatly reduce plastic waste.
Fun Fact:
Water and Waste
A single leaking faucet dripping once per second can waste over 165 gallons of water in a month. That's more water than a person drinks in two weeks!
It takes about 2,700 liters of water to make a single cotton t-shirt.

78% of marine mammals are at risk of accidental death from plastic garbage and fishing nets in the ocean.
Energy
When you turn on an old-fashioned incandescent light bulb, 90% of the energy is wasted as heat, with only 10% actually producing light.
Forests provide medicines, fruits, nuts, and clean water for millions of communities.
Protecting forests helps indigenous cultures preserve their traditions and way of life.
