Another issue I would like to try and show an expression for concern that targets my chosen word 'secrets' is plastic.
Talking about plastic and accepting that it is an important concern is not enough. As humans we should take blame for the disruption of the environment and take action on it. For some people that means they need to stop performing the selfish action of littering because it's an inconvenience for them to walk to a bin. Like the meat industry it is another problem we ignore because we don't want to accept how destructive and harmful it is. Plastic waste doesn't directly affect us yet but, it has affected other parts of the world that we don't see or hear about every day. The general attitude is that until this problem starts to have an immediate impact on our lives; it's non of our concern.
My plan for my next photoshoot is to collect every plastic item in my house that would go straight to the bin over two weeks. This will give me and my family an idea of how much plastic waste we produce and contribute to the growing problem of plastic waste.
