Did you know that each year we produce around 300 million tons of plastic worldwide? And did you know that 91 percent of that plastic waste doesn’t get recycled—even when you put it in the recycling bin? Instead, it ends up in landfills (not breaking down), or even worse, in our rivers and oceans! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to discourage you from recycling your recyclables (please keep recycling!). That being said, the phrase is “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,” so clearly the best way to solve the plastic problem is to reduce! Every little change makes a difference, and even imperfect and inconsistent changes to our plastic consumption is a step in the right director toward taking better care of our planet!

Dead. The accursed blank screen signifying a drained battery is one of the most upsetting sights in today’s technology-driven world.

No one wants to be in the middle of a life-changing hike when their camera dies, along with their hopes of reliving the experience in full-color HD images.
