Truly inspiring! I hope more and more people are reading and keeping this in mind! We must really lessen and hopefully avoid or end the use of plastics as it doesn’t just destroy the environment but also everyone who is living on this earth, even the plants and animals, no matter what size, shape, color, and type.
