Something that has been on my mind for years now is WASTE. I can't stand how much people waste without even thinking about it. Now, I know, I know that things are getting slightly better. The world is becoming more 'green' and sustainability is in fashion. But still. There are so many people in the world and the thought of how much waste there is, multiplied by what I witness on a daily basis, is mind-boggling. It is like thinking about how many galaxies exist by comparing our world to one grain of sand/or one galaxy out of a long stretch of beach. Yikes! How can people sleep at night with all of these problems? Well, probably because change cannot happen overnight.
Maybe I should take my concerns down a notch. What I want to do is make change first-hand on a small scale. The cafe I work at has great potential to save more. This is why I have implemented the sleeve-saving basket pictured above. That is not very significant, but there is more to come. I am researching the topic to accompany an essay along with a photo journal of some sort of minimalist art project. All of it will be made as a statement saying, 'Look! You can make a difference!' And even if it hardly changes things at least it shows that you can do
something positive rather than waste or complain.
