The War On Plastic
It is undeniable that the increase in plastic production over the past few decades has caused an environmental disaster in our oceans and is endangering the lives of the marine animals that inhabit them.
Inspired by my love for marine animals and my childhood dream of being a marine biologist, I went on a journey to live a more sustainable lifestyle; starting with reducing my plastic waste. I found ways to cut out common, single-use plastic items that are polluting our oceans and killing precious marine life.
The War On Plastic provides an immersive experience, both engaging and informing viewers of the problematic consumption of plastic and the detrimental effect on marine life. It allows us to step into the “fins” of our marine life and discover new ways to reduce plastic intake make it a goal we strive for every day.
