Tangled in consumption

Ah yes … little mermaids. All cute, sitting pretty on their rocks. All innocent just brushing their hair all day long. Somehow we all forgot that in the folklore they were also connected with drownings, shipwrecks, storms, murders, etc.

As we somehow rather think of pollution as a bad culprit. Something that doesn’t really touch us. Something big … like companies or factories. But at the end if we break it down we come down to consumption. Yes, we all good people and recycle. Yes, I have a bag made of fabric, yes, I use homemade cleaning stuff and don’t use detergent and yes I try … but at the end I didn’t really need a new pair of shoes. They were pretty and on discount … so I bought them. Just today actually. I live and my produce is garbage.

So here we have, two cute mermaids, tangled in a fight for a piece of plastic. Like all fishes, we all like our new shiny, sparkly stuff.

Remember, all you have to do is make a doodle inspired by the 3 words tangled, plastic and mermaid.
