Say NO to plastic
So in this Earth Dialogue in Leonne, France, they said if we will continue to destroy and pollute this planet our seventh generation will have nothing to drink. If you cannot give for your children something better, at least you should give them clean water. If you can’t give food and clothes and so on to someone, at least you should be able to give a glass of clean water to the thirsty person.
But where is the water? Not even in the tears will exist clean water. We have polluted our rivers, we have polluted our lakes, we are polluting the ocean, we are polluting everything. And don’t say:’ I can’t do anything, all are doing like this, what should I do?†Let them do what they do, but you should not do what they do.
Don’t be that kind of sheep that one walks and falls into some hole and the next one is walking behind also falls in and so on. I don’t know but maybe New Zealand sheep are doing like this but Indian sheep are doing like that.
If you can make one sankalpa (wish or resolution), say from today onwards I will not use plastic things. This is a very little thing but…
For shopping, when you go, take basket or take the textile bag, the cotton bag. Don’t buy anything which you will throw it away, the cups and plates and spoons made out of the plastics. We think it is a little thing, but it is not a little thing, it is very big. Buy or make yourself one cotton bag and write on it: â€Say NO to plastic!â€
I was in India on one of the islands, its called Andaman Nikoba island, it is very very clean and very nice and at airport, when you arrive there is written very big: “Say NO to plastic, please don’t bring plasticâ€.
So let’s begin. If you write anyone letter, then write on the behind where you write your address, and below you write: “Say NO to plastic!â€
If you send someone email, write down: “Say NO to plastic!â€
Wherever you are doing something, whatever you are doing, wherever you can, or make a sticker and: “Say NO to plastic!â€
This is the way how we will awake the consciousness in the people. And tell your children also, and they will say: “Really, I don’t want plastic bag.â€
