Plastic Sea

There is plenty of fish in the sea,

But also plastic.

There are many trees in the forest,

But many were cut down.

Sufficient oxygen in the atmosphere,

But it's being poisoned.

Plenty lakes cover the earth,

None are drinkable.

Lots of clothing to cover our backs,

But they will end up thrown away.

Many flowers bloom in spring,

So do weeds.

There is always a negative,

Until we fix it.

Make better choices

Refuse plastic straws.

Refuse non-ecofriendly clothes.

Be better.

This isn't just about sustainability.
