With the nice weather this summer, I went to the Philippines. Its a beautiful place, each island filled with greenery and lots of water surrounding it. From northern Mindiano to el Nido and finally Manila it was a journey from nature to man made waste.
At northern Mindiano I went to Illigan where the water is fresh falling from the top of the cliff into the pond. Towards the end of the trip at manila, I went scuba diving. Manila has the world’s deepest trench and in it a variety of sea creatures. However at the bottom of that trench there was plastic water bottles and bags. Some of the animals in the ocean were possibly consuming that plastic. It was disheartening to see that humans have caused so much distraught in the natural environment.
Humans have founded plastic, a substance that only causes harm to nature and life on earth. Yet we continue to use plastic daily and don’t take responsibility for this. At manila it was sad to see all the plastic ending up in the animal’s homes. It is super important to bring a change to this immediately.
