With these photos, We wanted to say our word in fighting against plastic pollution. Let's keep our beautiful mother earth safe by minimizing plastic usage.  “Plastic pollution on land poses a threat to the plants and animals – including humans, it has the potential to poison animals, which can then adversely affect human food supplies. Some marine species, such as sea turtles, have been found to contain large proportions of plastics in their stomach. When this occurs, the animal typically starves, because the plastic blocks the animal's digestive tract.
Seabirds are also greatly affected. Seabirds often mistake trash floating on the ocean's surface as prey. Their food sources often have already ingested plastic debris, thus transferring the plastic from prey to predator. Ingested trash can obstruct and physically damage a bird's digestive system, reducing its digestive ability and can lead to malnutrition, starvation, and death.
Some compounds that are used in plastics, such as phthalates, bisphenol A (BRA), polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), are under the close statute and might be very hurtful. Even though these compounds are unsafe, they have been used in the manufacturing of food packaging, medical devices, flooring materials, bottles, perfumes, cosmetics, and much more. The large dosage of these compounds is hazardous to humans, destroying the endocrine system. Exposure to chemicals such as BPA has been correlated with disruptions in infertility, reproduction, sexual maturation, and other health effects. “
