People commonly think "it is just one plastic straw" or "it is just one plastic cup." When this thought comes to mind, just stop and think. You are one person out of  7,714,576,923 people in our world. How many times has that thought entered your head in the last day, week, month, or year? My guess is almost everyday. So think about how often that thought enters others people's head. ]]> 2019-01-05 22:14:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mlm10031a/as8pu976vlq8/wish/317611606 mlm10031a https://padlet.com/mlm10031a/as8pu976vlq8/wish/317611887 How much of the Earth does the oceans cover?
