An eye opening experience
Hi everyone :) My name is Jia-En and I recently joined the Blossom World beach cleanup event. It was a great eye-opening experience. I was shocked at the amount of trash we gathered - I found all sorts of plastic and styrofoam along the entire stretch (I even found a diaper ew). Through this event, I saw first-hand how much waste we produce and how much of it washes up and polluting our natural environment. I feel that by getting down and dirty, clearing bits and pieces of styrofoam and trash, I can see the impact of that one tabao box I used, or that plastic bag that I didn't need to waste. For now, I'm starting small and using beeswax wraps/containers for my food and I hope to be eco-conscious in future. In our normal urban lives, it's hard to see the value of reducing non-renewable wastes, so I encourage you all to give beach cleanup a chance and join the next Blossom World event!
