Today is Earth Day.
The word of the day: Plastics.
From Earth Day Network:
Plastic pollution is poisoning our oceans and land, injuring marine life, and affecting our health!More:
Help End Plastic Pollution by finding out how many plastic items you consume every year and make a PLEDGE to reduce the amount.
Earth Day 2018 is dedicated to providing the information and inspiration needed to fundamentally change human attitude and behavior about plastics.
From poisoning and injuring marine life to disrupting human hormones, from littering our beaches and landscapes to clogging our waste streams and landfills, the exponential growth of plastics is now threatening the survival of our planet.Plastic pollution isn't just about litter and overflowing landfills, according to Earth Day Network. Plastics cause climate change!
In response, Earth Day 2018 will focus on fundamentally changing human attitude and behavior about plastics and catalyzing a significant reduction in plastic pollution.
Our strategy to End Plastic Pollution will:Lead and support the adoption of a global framework to regulate plastic pollution
Educate and mobilize citizens across the globe to demand action from governments and corporations to control and diminish plastic pollution
Inform and activate citizens to take personal responsibility for the plastic pollution that each one of us generates by choosing to reject, reduce, reuse and recycle plastics
Work with universities, school teachers and students to End Plastic Pollution
Work with other organizations and networks and make Earth Day 2018 a platform to End Plastic Pollution by developing resources that others can use and build partnerships.
Promote the work that cities and local governments are doing to tackle plastic pollution
Empower journalists across the globe to report on the problem and its emerging solutions.
It is important to remember the connection between plastics and climate change. Climate change is one of the most pressing issues we face as a planet today. If other reasons to consume less plastic weren’t already enough to convince you to act, the fact that consuming plastic products exacerbates climate change should be an important reason to take personal responsibility and make a commitment to help End Plastic Pollution.
I believe we should all be good stewards of our planet.
We shouldn't be wasteful. We should behave responsibly and care about the environmental impact our actions have. If the goal of Earth Day embraced that, I would be on board.
The fact is Earth Day is not a non-partisan movement. It has a decidedly Leftist agenda.
Registering voters is an Earth Day activity. Fighting climate change is the rallying cry. Abortion is an effective tool in greening the planet.
All of Earth Day Network’s campaigns, whether protecting forests, registering new voters or greening cities, help create a greener, more sustainable future. You can get involved now to make your mark in the urgent fight against climate change.
Earth Day is not about personal responsibility and being a good steward. It's not about caring for the planet.
Earth Day is about organizing to support Leftist politicians and enacting Leftist policies.
