Oh yeah I know, it’s to the point where people individually can’t save the problem with trash in oceans/anywhere else. I feel like big companies need to step up and start using biodegradable products or make their products out of recycled plastic
But huge companies don’t care.
I know microplastics are slowly getting into our food as well,, we’re screwed
I'm also interested in reducing my wastes. I just took an environmental science class, and it's actually quite sad and serious.You should go on youtube and look up videos on sustainability and zero waste. Here is a video to get started:

Hope this help :)
Most people seem apathetic about how much plastic they use (especially corporations). I think it's because they either believe it's a hoax, don't understand how bad it is, or for the older generations they don't care because "[they] won't be alive to see it". Which means we need to have conversations to find where our values intersect. eg. the future for our children and grandchildren. What we don't do now will fall directly on their shoulders. The problem is the apathetic people aren't joining in the conversation, so how do we go about drawing them in? Perhaps everyone who cares needs to go to the apathetic people in their lives. And each person convinced by the facts would be 1 less person preventing us from reaching sustainability.
This world seems infested with plastic. What are methods to go garbage free? Is it possible? What if the solution is worse than the problem? How do we fix this?
