My Future My Voice

The heavy dependence on plastic bags is all created by humans. Realizing the consequences of this dependence is not only crucial but gives us hope as it is an easy fix.

The issue itself isn’t complicated – as individuals this is completely in our control to work on. These small actions and changes in our daily lives may seem insignificant but have a major impact on the environment.

The 6 Rs of sustainability help guide us with our choices in our everyday lives. It started with 3Rs Reduce, Reuse and Recycle but the world has now moved to 3 more Rs – Rethink, Repair and Refuse. Next time you are in the store, say no to a plastic bag and feel the empowerment of saving the earth, one reusable bag at a time.
