Jeez Jessica. I wish you would stop writing doom porn and offer some SOLUTIONS if you really care. You made me feel so bad just to make some easy money because I can’t stop myself from reading or control my own mental and emotional landscape. Hope you don’t use any of that money to buy PLASTIC.

😂 😂 😂

Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. And come on, the stampeding ostriches deserve to be laughed at.

Good article. Practical solutions that everyone can do to pitch in, as always.

May I add one? Instead of throwing plastic away, keep a drink bottle and use it to build a plastic brick. There’s a group that comes around and picks them up in most cities and it will go toward sustainable housing construction. You’ll keep a lot more plastic out of landfills, recycle/upcycle it yourself after a fashion, and save more kittens and further environmental degradation. I can’t remember the name of the group off the top of my head but you can Google it people. I think there are different ones collecting around the world anyway, so you’d have to look for local sources anyway.

Build a plastic brick.
