In the last few years, the use of paper bags has been implemented in the Philippines among commercial stores, instead of plastic bags. Which was good, but not totally followed. Some people still prefer the plastic bags usage for one reason or another. My family I must admit is not totally adhering to this. Local governments thoughout the country, which includes our municipality up North have also started doing regular clean-ups throughout the community, especially along the coastline. These town clean-ups, beautification, mangrove planting are ongoing measures all over the country.

When our Ocean became our thrash bin:
Their CATCH of the DAY.
Wooh! Shocking as they may seem, they are what we think they are!
Are we surprised to see these things? How they came about, only US humans are the culprit. Our sea creatures can't distinguish what they are eating from those plastics that abound in their environment. But the world is waking up. Personally I'm just glad that we are now aware of how little things like these clean-ups all over the world can make a big impact and can bring CHANGE.
