CAN TOURISM HELP SAVE THE OCEANS?

This is a very interesting question!!

How can we combine the craving for discovering new exotic places and the exploitation of natural resources?

In this short video that I found in 'The Economist', it is analyzed the case of Indonesia, its biodiversity, the illegal poaching and new a way of looking into the future thanks to Eco-tourism.

SKY OCEAN RESCUE

Hello All!!

This post is a bit different from my usual green-tree oriented posts, this time I talk blue, blue as Sky Ocean Rescue

Sky Ocean Rescue will be two years old this January 2019 and I would like to price the hard work that has been done so far in order to promote the collection of the plastics from the oceans.

All description of this fantastic project is explained in this link, here below:

This hard work in paying off and we are all getting more aware of the importance to reduce the use of plastics. Just to mention one amazing step: in London in any bars or restaurant you cannot find plastic straws any longer!! 

 😊 😊

Very well done I am so proud of this stepping stone !!

BAMBOO TOOTHBRUSH

Hello All,

few days ago I came across something called bamboo toothbrush, as I never heard about them I wanted to find out more information about them and I have to say, a new world completely disclosed to me...

The best thing about bamboo toothbrushes is that they are 100% biodegradable, therefore they are considered sustainable for the environment. Bamboos grow very quickly and it is able to supply a very sustainable timber in just few years time.

The problem is that nowadays, traditional plastic toothbrush are not recycled and, at times, they end up offshore.


This link here below shows the journey that a plastic boothbush makes, worthed to have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd_C3YK3kI4




All of us should be committed in the cause of recycling and protect our environment!!
First of all, we should try to find another use of our toothbushes after they have done with our teeth and secondly we can try to swap our habits and opt for something more sustainable and recyclable.

Let's save our environment... save our oceans!!!
