Little things can make a big difference. And if everyone does their part we can tackle the big problems. That’s the philosophy behind Sydney-based eco-initiative Take 3. They started from a simple idea back in 2009, that if everyone who went to the beach picked up just three pieces of rubbish, there would be nothing left to float out into our oceans.
It seems simple, but that’s the genius of it. Anyone can pick up a few bits of rubbish and if everyone does it makes a significant difference. By getting ahead of the problem, they hope to make a real impact in reducing plastic pollution.
We can all learn something from this simple and inspiring idea from our friends across the Tasman. So next time you’re at the beach, see if you can pick up a few bits of rubbish. Then take a picture of it, post it up on social media and challenge your friends to do the same.
