The Government |✔ (A #PlanetOrPlastic Short Story)

Environmental problems. Political interest. Personal benefits. Opportunity costs. Clashes and conflicts will inevitably occur when there is a clash of interests. These are perhaps the reasons why plastics still continue to be overused and will likely continue to be overused unless something drastic occurs.

A #PlanetOrPlastic short story specially written for the National Geographic Writing Competition in hopes of raising environmental awareness and the need to push for environmentally friendly governmental polices. No longer can we stand divided as left right or right wing, democratic or republican, conservative or liberal. We must unite to face this common threat to Earth. Division will only cause inefficiency and inadequacy. We must unite and push for change because change starts with us.
