Title:
let's focus our daily plastic - react

Author:

Description:
Let's focus our daily plastic. We need to react. We decide. Daily nice plastic things live for us for minutes, but in reality they will live longer than we do and they are killing along the food chain. The first step will be to develop our sensitivity for our plastic world. But it is not so easy to have the focus on the daily use. Change in the use of plastic is necessary, we all know or should know that. But our focus is on self-optimizing. Plastic helps at first and seems to make long-awaited promises real. There is something that slipped deep in our unconscious mind. It gives us the illusion of a perfect world in which we are able to optimize our lifestyle, our body and to get - perhaps one day - immortal in our fleeting life, where death is present all the time. in parallel with the illusion of a perfect world plastic gives us an immense feeling of power: freedom of choice. The power to decide the time when we want to split with things. Plastic does not need any partnership. Nature is the opposite of plastic and claims partnership. It is fact, that with the development of nearly immortal things we have let the genie out of the bottle and we pay it with the slowly killing along the food chain, with the dying of the whole nature and we are a part of it. Our dream will not fulfill: even though the plastic is immortal, we will never reach this imagination, one species after the other will die and we are a part of this process. Nature is fleeting and we only have the opportunity of life to live with it in partnership.
