The Preservation of Dying Resources Begins With Your Awareness

It’s so simple to start of your morning with a cup of coffee from a plastic, paper or Styrofoam cup and then to throw the empty cup away. Little do a lot of people know that the remnants of those cups have more value to them than what people credit these factory-made sources to have. There are many options to recycle unwanted resources that a consumer hasn’t any use for anymore. However, why is it that recycling bins are nearly vacant and trash bins are overflowing? Apathy is the true culprit of trash as opposed to the wasted resources that end up in the landfills. A project called “The Story of Stuff” is a project that focuses on the wasteful ways of the American masses. It touches on how the products we buy are used and tossed out within a matter of weeks to days to minutes within the general public. The website of this project, storyofstuff.org, has many short films that are available to make the uninformed, informed and make the apathetic possibly care a little bit more. My pitch is going to be about how people can better the environment. How people can be aware of how many resources are becoming scarce and what people can do to prevent this fate from occurring.
