Again, our friends at the Plastic Pollution Coalition are making headlines…they’ve created a new country: The Crapola Islands, a place that “nature could not have created alone”, where “the emerald waters teem with sea turtles and the sea turtles teem with tiny pieces of plastic garbage”.
Drop by the Crapola Islands website and become a citizen - but beware, to become a citizen you must take the following pledge (suitable for framing and placement near the coffee machine at your office!):
”I, (state your name) pledge allegiance
to the nation of the Crapola Islands.
and by that I mean:
I will use less disposable plastic items
and not go through like 5 styrofoam cups a day;
I pledge not to be that guy.
I further pledge to spread the word
and bring others to the cause because together,
we can solve the plastic pollution epidemic.
Honestly, I see like zero downside to this.”
Don’t be that guy - but do havva Happy Monday!
