    Although those that litter pick, and many that don't, know who the big brands are, this is a great report looking into it on a global level. 🌱

    Dispose of your disposable cups properly! Takeaway cups have a plastic liner which if littered, can last in the environment a lot longer then their paper wrapper, causing harm to wildlife & ecosystems.

    Focusing on environmentalism is a privilege in itself. Diversify your circle of influence if you want the movement to be inclusive. Engage everyone in EVERY possible way. Thank you

    Social justice is you being able to acknowledge the inequalities of people that don’t look like you. Check your privilege. Create a platform for people that have none. There are some people doing it but you can do better. Always think what can you do better.
