With hurricane season upon us, consecutive days with record breaking temperatures rising, and the symptoms of a changing climate becoming increasingly evident, the time for individual action is now. Just because you aren’t experiencing the effects first hand does not mean you are free to carry on as usual. Individual action from a large group of people has the power to change the world.

The word overconsumption has become increasingly common in modern media. Images of mountains of discarded clothes, endless morning routine vlogs, and trash islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean illuminate our society's need to replace and discard unnecessary items continuously.

Without taking a closer look, plastic may seem completely harmless. It is easy to use, easy to dispose of, and keeps products clean and sanitary. However, the issue arises when these plastics are continuously made and discarded.

In other words, single-use plastics can remain in our environment for up to 500 years.
