@alexandraioana26 Thank you for writing this post as I really enjoyed reading it and is something that is held close to my heart! To start off I really like the quote you put at the end by Wendell Berry, but don't forget we all bleed red too! Anyways, I recently read an article that stated that washington state started a campaign stopping the use of straws; below I put a link if you want to checkk it out I think you will like it!

Also in addition to your information regarding all of the plastic in the ocean I thought you would enjoy this episode of Joe Rogan Experience where he interviews a young adult about his actions on making the ocean clean again or at least making an effort which is what counts! I think you would really enjoy this as I did, I will make sure to follow you and thank you again for the wonderful post!
