Spastic plastic litters our world
it’s infiltrated everything
Our oceans are heaving
Foaming at the mouth
with mountainous islands of shit
Fake floating bits
of inedible toxic
Toys shoes boxes
containers bags bowls
even poop emoji hairpins.
Plastic was the ultimate
miracle product
to wrap and to hold
cheap inexpensive to make
our world one huge dump
Convenience makes us
wasteful fools
destroying our only home
with things we never needed.
Well said, thank you for this post.

Yes. New Zealand have been making progress banning plastic bags for example. There’s positive signs but it feels a little too late in some ways

I’m glad some countries have sense, the plastic bags were banned in California where I live in the US, but the big businesses found a way to bring them back. Corporations are the major problem, no accountability.
