We become Plastic
Everyone is motivated or inspired by dozens of things, sometimes important and sometimes not. But there are some ideas and concepts that I think almost all of us should be looking at, and one of them is Sustainability.
1) Plastic
Have you ever wondered how much plastic we use and throw away each week? How many apartments are there around us and how many in our city? Imagine how much carcinogenic plastic we produce worldwide every year. At this rate, it is certain that in a few years our planet will no longer be able to withstand this abuse.

We are also becoming more and more plastic ourselves. We throw the plastic in the oceans, in water channels, on fields. Therefore, many animals feed on them. Some die and some we consume ourselves. This gives the human body amounts of plastic that cause irreparable and undetectable health problems.

2) Food industry
In the last 20 years there have been millions of restaurants or fast food shops that have a great demand for raw materials. Because of this, billions of animals are raised in adverse conditions and then slaughtered to meet these needs. So two things happen: innocent animals are tortured every day and the products we receive are usually of very poor quality for our health.

3) Fast Fashion
Closing another very important point that is causing a huge problem on the planet is fast fashion. Overconsumption, which is successfully promoted by the big clothing companies and supermarkets, drives us to buy products and especially clothes that are normally unnecessary for us, or we throw them away after a while due to the new fashion trend. This leads to an enormous demand for cotton, animal wool and, as always, plastic.
The earth is constantly being produced, animals are killed for their fur, and plastic companies pollute the environment with carcinogens, often without any impact due to their economic power.
