Idon’t know about you, but I’m frustrated at the current attitudes of the general population, and indeed of the government, towards the extremely shaky tight-rope we are walking regarding climate change. We’ve never been closer to a climate emergency than we are today. In fact, with every day that goes by, planet earth is tipping dangerously off-balance, overwhelmingly due to the actions of the human race. As Sir David Attenborough took to our screens to lecture the British population about the suffocating pollution that is ocean plastic, I can’t help but think to myself… great work David, but I feel like we’re missing the point.
Most of us simply don’t know enough about the current climate emergency, nor are we taught, or regularly informed about it, by concerned scientists and climate experts. What a lot of us do know however, is that it’ll take far more than refusing a plastic straw to make an impact upon our already declining environment.
