Harry Styles Imagines

(114) - planet or plastic?

"Mama, can I throw the bottle outside?", baby Alex asked from the backseat and waved his empty plastic bottle in the air.

Meredith looked at him weirdly and Olivia's eyebrows furrowed.

"Why would you do that?", questioned Olivia.
"The bottle is empty and I don't need it.", Alex replied carelessly.

"You can refill it and drink from it. At least three times.", said Harry from the driver seat, while Olivia thought about the words she'd suggest to her baby.
"But it's useless.", such a fancy word came out of baby Alex's small mouth.

"It's not.", fought baby Meredith and Alex rolled his eyes at her words.

"Alex, mama is going to tell you the reason why you can't throw the bottle outside, okay?", Olivia told him with a smile and baby Meredith grinned at the idea of her learning something new.

Alex simply nodded, the empty water bottle in his hands.

Harry - her husband - smiled, also wondering what new information he could add to the one's Olivia provided him.

"A water bottle, baby - or simply plastic in general - takes hundreds of years to decompose.", Olivia started and almost instantly earned a question from baby Alex.

"Why?"
"Because it's not a biological material. Biological materials are everything that the nature can provide."

"And if we all start throwing plastic away - outside - the ocean is going to be affected, baby. Lots of animals die every day, because of the small plastic bags in their heads.", explained Olivia.

"Why do they have it in their heads, if it's trash, mum?"

"Because they think it's food.", sighed sadly Olivia.

"I'm sorry mum.", told Alex everyone, keeping his head down, feeling guilty.

"You didn't know, baby. But, you do now and you, the little bean that you are-", Alex laughed, baby Meredith and Harry joined him.

"Can make a difference.", baby Alex pointed at himself as if his mummy was joking - but she nodded seriously.

"I can make a difference?"
"Yeah!", smiled Olivia at his incredulous words.

There was a deep silence that made everyone shortly think about the previous talk.

"Mamma?", Olivia hummed.
"Can you buy me a glass bottle?", Harry and Olivia smiled proudly at their son while baby Meredith smiled at the curious boy who wanted to change the world.
