A Plastic Ocean

[Catherine]

You don't use the one use bags at all and you don't miss them.
I don't use them and I don't miss them.

We just don't need to use those one use bags. They are such a foolish invention. I wonder whose idea they were.
While we cling to using bags and water bottles we are going to keep destroying the oceans. It could take centuries to clean up the mess we have created in a short number of years. I still remember us using paper bags. The plastic bags seemed like such a good idea when they first came out. We just didn't think about what would happen when we discarded them.

For a while every body was trying to use reusable bags. Now people boldly ask for the plastic bags and they don't care what that does to the planet. For some older people they don't care because they won't be around to see the results. It is someone else's problem. That is a very selfish attitude. They are choosing to leave future generations with big problems to solve.

The jokes on them. They are living longer than they expected and they will be around to suffer some of the consequences of their selfish behavior.
