Plastic Problem

Next time you are deciding on a new piece of yoga equipment, be mindful of these benefits of opting for cork over plastic! We need to greatly reduce the amount of plastic we consume. It is destroying our planet and our ecosystem. Too many land animals and sea-life have been affected;

Nearly 10% of whales and dolphins have consumed plastic.
The majestic whales of our oceans are dying from plastic consumption
Innocent sea creatures are getting trapped in plastic products
And so many more horrific events animals experience just because of human plastic waste!!

It's time to become more aware and really make the small everyday changes to look after Mother Earth. ![vibrant-yogini-spacer.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUaGrALJtMEPWhjAsPvcGHJMqPp7UgKCV1n4z29iCXk9U/vibrant-yogini-spacer.png)

What You Can Do To Help...

There are many small changes you can start making today which will contribute to helping the overall problem. A few of these include:

Opt for bamboo toothbrushes and clothing rather than the plastic versions
Purchase loose vegetables and produce that does not require plastic packaging. I.e. go to the butchers, local market, bakery etc.
For now, reduce the much larger problem by taking a small re-usable foldaway bag with you instead of being given bags by shops;

Eco-friendliness to Save Our Planet

"The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that ''somebody else will save it.'Only when the last plant has died, the last water reserve has been poisoned, and the last species has been killed, will all of humanity simply realise that 'we cannot eat money.''

I may only be one person. But one person can make a difference. Small acts of kindness to our planets natural beauty when multiplied by millions of influenced people can transform the world for the better
