In my view discarding what is no more useful to us needs to considered carefully, ensuring that the impact of our waste has minimum effect on the environment. Many of us enjoy the great outdoors and do not want to be cooped indoors for any reason whatsoever. However when we are out and about, we crave for water, coffee, and snacks of all types, forcing us to purchase these products in easily disposable containers.
How we dispose of these containers is what is important. Placing them in bona-fide waste-bins is essential so that they can be effectively disposed of by the local authority is one option. Another option is taking your litter home with you.
Our concern for the environment must come from the understanding that we live in a global ecosystem and the destruction or fragmentation of any part of the ecosystem creates an imbalance that serves to affect man on the long run.
In an attempt to encourage everyone to dispose of their litter thoughtfully we have launched a range of tee-shirts to relay the message.
Many years ago I carried out some research and investigation on brackish water ecosystems in the Niger Delta.
I returned to the area after twenty years and observed the devastation and destruction oil spill pollution has reeked on the area, permanently destroying the fragile ecosystem and the human life that has depended on it for centuries.
Our hope is that some of the profit from the sale of these tee-shirts will contribute campaigns to bring the damage single use plastic is doing the environment to the attention of a global audience.
