Plastic is  an amazing substance that is unfortunately being used for EVIL most of the time. I watched a rad documentary about plastic called Bag It, and along with other books I’ve read like The World Without Us, I felt like making a post about reusable products you can use instead of plastic that are AWESOME. 

Why do we make products that we use for less that 10 minutes out of something that will be around for longer than the STATUE OF DAVID? You drink a coke, you throw away the bottle and it will be around for HUNDREDS OF YEARS after your death.

It’s called disposable but all that seems to mean is you put it somewhere else and it ends up in the stomachs of dead animals and the Pacific ocean. 

The easy thing anyone can do to stop this nonesense is buy less bottled water+soda and bring your own stuff with you! AWESOME stuff.
