You are your trash.

Every passing day, there are actions that we tend to make, consciously and unconsciously that have major repercussions on our environment. And sometimes it’s the little things that we tend to take for granted and ignore completely that make the biggest impact in the grand scheme of things. As inhabitants of this Earth, it is our responsibility to nurture and care for our surroundings; however, with all these environmental problems that are escalating globally, it seems that we may have forgotten that responsibility. Let us look at one of these environmental problems under the microscope, waste. It is no secret that garbage is a pressing problem in our society and despite the efforts and advocacies to solve this issue, complacency and ignorance have played a critical role as to why the problem remains a concern. It has become a psychology of people that tiny pieces of litter and ignorance of abiding to the proper waste disposal practices has no major repercussions on the environment, but it is that way of thinking and complacency with our actions that if we take it on a global-scale, if the 7 billion people have the same way of thinking, all these accumulated pieces of litter will build mounds and mounds of garbage that will be difficult for us to dispose of and with that said, these mounds of garbage will eventually put people’s lives at risk. And so, through our PSA Video we illustrate the significance of being aware with our litter. What we are trying to get across with everybody is that, those small things, those minor details that we take for granted every day, in the long run, will be the cause of our demise. You are your trash. When we realize and we feel the direct repercussions of our faults, it will all be too late. It is the little things, that silver lining, that sliver of a chance that can make the biggest difference, and the biggest difference between hope and demise for our only home, Mother Earth. So the next time you throw that piece of paper, that candy wrapper, that piece of tissue and the next time you ignore throwing your garbage at the right place, think twice, will you be the difference? Or will you be one of the masterminds of our demise? Be the change you want to see in this world. Be informed and dispose your trash properly.
