Reducing use of plastics as individuals, businesses can help sustain environment
Editor:
It would be difficult not to notice the severe weather conditions across the globe. While we in this area have experienced minimal damage, our concern for the good of all should cause us to reflect on the part we play in these changes.
There are things we can do as individuals and working with others, in order to sustain our environment and alleviate the causes of climate change. In that way, the earth can continue to sustain us.
We can reduce our personal use of plastics, contact suppliers and policy makers in companies to reduce plastic in their packaging, encourage organizations we are associated with to do away with plastic supplies as much as possible, and take stock of what we purchase that contains plastic – even clothing. Synthetic materials contain plastic.
Let’s be aware and act for our common good!
