so many people
reaching out more
rage, rage, rage again
too much pollution
too many plastic bags and bottles
it should be a better place
so make it happen
just a little help
and hope

Your poem reminds me of the big environmental movement in the 1970s. How could we have ended up in such an awful mess?

Your poem is just right for Earth Day! And that photo is amazing. I’ve never seen shadows like that, maybe it’s the angle it was taken from?🤔

Every little bit helps. We are using cloth bags, shopping with minimal packaging in mind, recycling and reusing, and reducing waste…

I have quite a few sturdy plastic store brand totes and cloth bags for groceries. I finally had to pitch one the other day because the handle fabric had pretty much worn out. I might have been able to creat new handles… but I really have quite a few.
I’ve also started collecting clear bottles from sauces etc, I can use a plastic canning jar lid and keep dry goods in them. 🙂
If we all do just a little bit. I like reading about groups that go to sea shores or parks just to pick up the trash (which shouldn’t have ever been tossed…). 😀
