Hello there!

Amid my research on plastic pollution, I came across this short film depicting how Hawaiian students feel about plastic pollution on their beaches.

It is painful to see that polluters are often not at the receiving end of the consequences when it comes to plastic pollution. Instead, island communities such as the Hawaiians, are the ones experiencing the adverse effects.

Just because we do not see the impact of plastic pollution does not mean that we can ignore the issue. It is therefore vital that we change our “Not in my backyard (NIMBY)” mentality and recognise that everyone has a responsibility in making our home, a cleaner one.

Hopefully, this video will encourage you to consider cutting down on the usage of single-use plastic. See yall soon!
