light at the end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n<p>single-use items are designed to be used for minutes and will still be on the planet for hundreds of years to come. each and every single piece of plastic that has ever been produced is still on this planet here today. plastic in the ocean chokes, entangles, poisons, and or starves wildlife and marine birds. humans are not immune to the chemicals found in plastic and the toxins that they may collect over time either. harmful toxins have been found to seep into our foods and drinks which are stored in plastic containers.<\/p>\n<p>we are ready and willing to make positive changes in order to generate less plastic waste. businesses and manufacturers should offer consumers more sustainable packaging and products. in addition, they should take responsibility for the plastic waste that they create during business operations. we as single human beings have the power to create massive waves of change, even more so when people with the common goal of reducing plastic come together.<\/p>\n<p>a quote from the zero waste chef, anne maroe bonneau, that has helped me through my zero-waste journey is, \u201cwe don\u2019t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. we need millions of people doing it imperfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"plastic bottle art installation\" height=\"931\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/anna plastic piece.jpg\" \/><figcaption>moving forward from plastic &#8211;
