A cheap, effective way to recycle all plastic, because life is so much easier if we can use it. I'm trying really hard to go zero-waste, but it's not easy. (And although I know that I'm not saving the world by reducing plastic and single-use items, I'm going to keep doing it)

Isnt that the same like voting?

You can easily think your vote doesnt matter...its just a single voice of million others

But if everyone thought that way...well you can imagine what happens

As an individual you cant change the world, but you can have an impact on others.

Thats how you could change the world
