The Plastic Age Is Over

The Plastic Age Is Over

One day, 21,000 years into the future, human-like descendants will explore the earth and dig for traces of their ancestors.

We will all be long gone. However, digging four feet into the earth's soil, our archaeologist descendants will hit something hard with their tools: plastic!

The earth will be covered by a one-inch thick plastic shell. The soils of the world will also contain an infinite number of microscopic plastic pieces.

Our descendants will call us the Plastic People. Our era will be referred to as the Plastic Age.


But this is just a story. It does not have to be this way. Each of us can end our contribution to a bleak earth future and let the Age of Plastic die with us.

We must start by recognizing the global problem. Then, we each have to say to ourselves, "It does not matter what the rest of my clan/tribe are doing with wasteful plastic; I vow to stop using the worst of its kind: single-use plastic."

If you and I make this vow sacred and truly work to integrate this intention into our life's mission, others around us will slowly wake up too. In time, the idea will become widespread. The movement must gain momentum, but nothing will happen if people like us do not take the first steps on behalf of humanity's collective consciousness.

Eliminate single-use products from your routines. Once you start, the habit becomes solidified and easy to maintain.

Keep our environment clean. Take out the waste; do not be callous or messy with our home. This practice will eventually become second nature. Be the first, not the last, to get on board. No matter your age, open your mind. Expand your consciousness and help me too!

We are not perfect. We never will be. But we are trying to make progress, and that is more than enough. Don’t judge us, and we won't judge you.

Do not judge us for writing these words. Regardless of who you think we are as people, the message is far more important than any one individual. The message is true.

Let it live within you and blossom.
