Earth is our only home, but don’t take it seriously.
It’s a very precious gift to all of us from God, and we need to take care of it. But, we don’t always succeed. When we see people are ignoring Earth while some people are true heroes and working hard to save the planet. They are caring for its future and doing their best to maintain their breathtaking beauty.
Pat Smith, a citizen of Cornwall, UK, notice the problem of pollution and took the matter in her own hands to make her huge contribution to solve it.
Pat Smith, a 70-year-old grandmother from the UK, saw a documentary about plastic pollution and got worried about the problem.
She couldn’t sleep that night and thought a lot about it. When she woke up the next morning, she decided to do something about it. So she set a challenge for herself for the upcoming year in 2018 – she wanted to clean up one beach per week.
The people in her hometown of Cornwall joined to support her, along with some volunteers and her grandchildren, Pat Smith fulfilled her resolution and cleaned up 52 beaches of Cornwall in 2018. But, she didn’t stop here – she’s continued with her mission to make the world a better place.
Pat Smith has also launched a campaign called The Final Straw, her mission is to make people aware of the harm of plastic straws and to make her hometown Cornwall and the rest of the world plastic straw-free.
Drinking straws are a huge example of the unnecessary use of plastic in large quantities. It all ends up in landfills and oceans, killing marine life. Every plastic straw will outlive every person living on the planet right now.
Even little things can create global problems and we are all responsible for this. But we can also make a solution of it. Pat Smith has proven that there’s always a way to make a contribution and change a situation for the best.
