art matters

#blog#LifeInPoetry

“Do you think human creativity matters? Well, most people don’t spend a lot of time thinking about poetry, right? They have a life to live and they’re really not that concerned with Allen Ginsberg’s poems or anyone’s poems—until, their father dies; they go to a funeral; someone breaks your heart. And all of a sudden you’re desperate for making sense out of this life. ‘Has anybody felt this bad before? How did they come out of this cloud?’ Or the inverse—something great. You meet somebody and your heart explodes—you love them so much you can’t even see straight. You’re dizzy. ‘Did anybody feel like this before? What is happening to me?’ And that’s when art’s not a luxury—it’s actually sustenance. We need it.”

To date, humans have created around 11 billion metric tons of plastic. 72% of the plastic we make ends up in landfills or the environment. Only 9% of the plastic ever produced has been recycled.

To make matters worse, plastic production is growing dramatically; in fact, half of all plastics in existence have been produced in just the last two decades.

I give you a little story! One time when I was in Bali I had to be towed out of a certain area to surf. Why you may ask? Because I suddenly ran into a massive amount of plastic where I was. Yes, in Bali. I almost drowned surfing because where I was towed was not my level of surfing. I never told my mother!!!

Do your part otherwise you won’t leave anything for the next generations, NADA!

I fully understand how difficult it is to stay away from plastic. But when you go shopping for vegetables please don’t put them in another plastic bag to separate them. And if you do reuse those plastic bags and take him back to the supermarket.

Make sure or at least try to see whatever you’re buying is the kind of plastic that can be recycled, I know it’s difficult but we have to fight these companies. Also sending out a quick email saying you didn’t buy the item because it’s wrapped in non-recyclable plastic can really make a difference ( this makes you a star ⭐).

Here’s a photo of our beautiful mother, the mother of all, Mother Nature.
