This story is for #PlanetorPlastic

A heartbreaking wake-up call addressed to the human race.

Lost in the rhythmic percussion of waves. My first entry and short story for the #PlantOrPlastic to 'wake up the world to the potential impact of single-use plastic' I think it is so important to impact the world on the harmful effect plastic has on wildlife. I take pride in picking up pieces around my neighbourhood and I am so happy to become apart of this experience in using the Wattpad platform to make the world aware of the harmful risks of it. Although my account may be small, carrying barely any followers or views on any work I publish, I am more than happy to use my voice in order to be heard by at least somebody! Thank you for letting me be apart of this magnificent eye-opening writing competition.

My entry for National Geographic's #PlanetOrPlastic competition.

There comes a time in our lives, that which we feel like we could make a difference in something in what we do. A small thing it often is, but it has its own impacts. A single decision can be enough to change the world for years to come, like the rippling waves of the ocean. But what would people decide on if it meant their very future was at the brink of damnation? My first entry for National Geographic's #PlanetOrPlastic writing contest

Small things make big differences. Even a little seahorse can help make the Earth a better place, so why can't we? #PlanetOrPlastic

"One story can create a ripple". A fairytale-stylised short work, written to, first of all, raise awareness. Without awareness no major action or movement can be created. #PlanetOrPlastic

We are one of the first generations to know we are killing our planet. We may also be one of the last able to save it. Knowledge is power - what are you willing to do with yours? ~*~ Welcome! Here's a book of short stories inspired by the National Geographic competition #PlanetorPlastic I will be writing multiple entries as inspiration strikes throughout. Each chapter is a new and independent story (and competition entry) that can be read as a stand alone. This will be an ongoing series in honour of my personal milestone of starting my Tropical Marine Biology masters! Guess who is doing (micro)plastics for her dissertation? That's right - me! So this comp ties in beautifully with what I want to help achieve - awareness and knowledge. Following my passions has taken a huge leap of faith for me and a lot of dedication. I hope some of these stories inspire, evoke and induce something in each and every one of you too, the way the reality does for me. A lot of these stories will be metaphors and require reading between the line to decipher the theme or meaning. So please feel free to comment if it's unclear or a bit confusing (I tend to forget my readers aren't taking up residence in my mind and need me to write appropriately in order to deliver what I want, haha, it's a continuous learning curve for me!) Enjoy! #planetorplastic P.S I hope you like the book cover, I painted it myself ;)

Here is my second submission for the National Geographic writing contest with the #PlanetOrPlastic as the major theme. * i do not own the pictures. They are belong to National Geographic * I'd love to share my thoughts to all of you. Please read my story and hopefully this going to change your mind and get a new perspective about our crusial problem that we face nowadays, related to plastic, ocean, planet, and living things.

There is so much trash in the ocean that can harm wildlife and even kill them. Discover what this amazing girl and her dolphin did together. #PlanetOrPlastic

My entry for the national geographic contest. This story was inspired by scary but true events. As some may know, Vietnam is not the most eco-friendly place in the world with pollution being a major problem.

while the wild can be a brutal place, sometimes animals surprise us all and do some incredibly caring things for one another. or the real life story in which a lioness and a baby baboon become an unlikely and momentarily family. © 2015

Every ocean is polluted by plastics surrounding us And that's because of us I grew up in a world of nothing but buildings scattered in a city. I once saw the essence of water, it was fascinating. How the water shines once the light hit it's clear sight. How its cold waves encountered my feet and my skin, it was stunning. I never thought it would change, never have I thought it would. ********* this is a short story of saving the ocean with this story

A simple plea to the barracudas of the corporate world: do something. Do something before we find out exactly how much the Earth can take. Do something today, so that your grandchildren aren't left to piece together the world you polluted. It's not impossible to be eco-friendly, and the planet's well-being is worth paying a little extra. Corona recently introduced plastic-free six-pack beer rings that break down into organic material. Patagonia turns plastic bottles into parkas. Lush Cosmetics creates solid shampoo bars to reduce packaging waste. It's possible. It's happening. Follow their example.

Plastic pollution in the ocean frequently appears as seabird guts filled with cigarette lighters and bottle caps, marine mammals entangled in fishing gear and drifting plastic bags mimicking a gelatinous meal. Last year, a study estimated that around eight million metric tons of our plastic waste enter the oceans from land each year. - World Economic Listen... and you will hear the seabird, the fish, the seal, the polar bear... weep.

You mortals have doomed not only your planet - lands and oceans, but yourselves as well. Completed : [29/11/2018]
