I am an unapologetic optimist however that does not preclude me from seeing current reality and unflinchingly confronting it. We the people sharing this planet need to take a hard look at the devastation plastics are causing. It is simply a lack of education. My dear fiend from Aruba sent me these videos – she educated me!
