Baby or Plastic

I have the answer and it is plastic because despite what we know regarding plastic build up in our oceans and within our forests we continue to use it as if we don’t care; plastic bags instead of paper, plastic bottles, plastic cups, plastic, plastic, plastic.

We use them in our medications, as our CD’s, food utensils, and the list goes on and on. We as a world wide society are hooked on plastic. It is our new drug of choice. Has this happened because as human beings we have just gotten lazy or is it because we have grown to become cheap? Could it be both? Well Ebenezer Scrooge please do not complain about our future and the future of your children and or grandchildren the next time you purchase something made from plastic.

If I may remind you, reincarnation has yet to be disproved. With that said, you might want to consider what kind of environment you would like to come back too.

This piece is in no way a work written to upset you however it is a piece for you to strongly consider. I am just as guilty as you regarding the use of plastics but my hope is that we as a society begin now to slow this cancer that is devouring our environment and find ways to locate and reuse the tons of plastic that have already been consumed by you and me.

To me, plastic is a cancer that in the beginning stages destroys from within even though we feel just fine, oblivious to what is going on inside our bodies. The time does come however when we do realize in the worst of ways that this is destroying us which then causes us to go into panic mode. I don’t think we are there yet, not in the least because there is nothing really being done about it, or should I say, not enough.

There are those that believe Jesus is coming back on May 21st of this year. Maybe he will cure the world of all the plastic waste that has run amuck. I write this comment out of both sarcasm and hope.

Think about it my brothers and sisters, what are we going to do to wean ourselves off of plastic? What can you do? What can we do? My suggestion is to take all plastic pieces in your home, just for a moment and pile them up in a corner of your house. This would mean your CD’s, computers, plastic bags, utensils, bowls, everything that you have in your home that is plastic. Once compiled, outline it in a way with either marker or with old towels, blankets, what ever it is you don’t need such as empty boxes then leave it there for a month. Every time you purchase something plastic, add its size to the pile then for one month, notice how irritating it is to see and how much room it takes up. Notice it getting bigger and keep in mind you can’t move it for one month giving the impression that plastic takes forever to breakdown. Once your month is complete make a mental note of what you experienced. You may also want to keep a daily journal during the month of this exercise. Just a thought..

Blessed Be-
