Oceans

Say No to Plastic Straws

An estimated 71% of seabirds and 30% of turtles have been found with plastics in their stomachs. When marine wildlife ingest plastic, they have a 50% mortality rate. By asking for no straw when placing a drink order, I will keep 2 plastic straw(s) of out of the ocean each day.

I truly believe this is not restricted to straws but other plastic products should be reduced from our daily activities. I am now becoming more aware on for a number of things : for example, bring my own bag when shopping, not asking for plastic cutlery when buying take-away lunch box. These could also be a big help to the ocean, as well as the environment.

We need to clean and remove the majority remaining residue when we recycle our plastic bottles/containers, as well as removing the unnecessary packing materials of them. Otherwise, we will make the recycle process difficult. Any other advice please ?

REFLECTION QUESTION
Action Track: Building Resilience Spend Time Outside

Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?

Louise Ng 4/09/2020 1:33 AM

Spend time to see the nature is making me relaxed and cheerful. We need to release our mind and soul from a restricted indoor zone to an unlimited outside nature to enjoy the beauty of it, as well as all the lovely creatures. I do night walk everyday with the earphones on for music/songs. It unlocked me from the work/home issues and immerse myself completely to this “me time”. It refreshes my mind and detox from the hectic day !

REFLECTION QUESTION
Oceans Say No to Plastic Straws

What single-use items (e.g. straws, coffee cups, vegetable bags, plastic bags) do you regularly use? What could be substituted instead?

Louise Ng 4/08/2020 1:45 AM

We could do a lot to make an environmental friendly world. Such as skip straws, bring our own coffee mug or water bottle, bring our own bag for shopping household products. One small step for everyone will make a big difference.
