Waves filled with trash. 

And it’s getting worse 

and worse.

Trash wave, Indonesia.

“Awareness” can only go so far. What is needed are simple route to action.

So, Here’s an idea from TM™

Viewers should be able to roll over each product in each of these images of trash in nature.

There, they can find a brand, a manufacturer, etc;

then they can click-to-send a demand for sustainable packaging options.

And they can share it across social media.

List out the worst offenders, and attempt to track it all back.

Do it for all photos, in the pacific garbage patch, etc. 

It’s simple way to activate these photos. If you have the resources and the reach, contact me and I’ll give a free consultation/ blueprint on how to get it done. 

Less talk. More action.

We should also ban the microbead.

All those facial scrubs with ‘Microbead’ cleansers? Just tiny bits of plastic companies put into their products – allowed to wash down drains into the ocean to mess with ecosystems.

Guess they were hoping you wouldn’t notice:

‘Polyethylene’ is just another word for plastic.

Mother’s Day is Today!

Spring / Summer is here! Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms in the the world! Think Dirty is a project inspired by my mom’s triumph over cancer, so today has special meaning to me. Hope all of you will take a moment to show your appreciation to your moms. For the beautiful weather today, take a stroll out and treat her to high tea in the park would just be wonderful.

PERSONAL CARE PRODUCT CHEMICALS: 

New :  *Scan for Toxic Chemicals* App!

.

New app lets you quickly scan cosmetics to see if they’re potentially toxic

.

We’re trying not to freak out, but THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST APP EVER.

.

The free app will tell you if shampoo or makeup contains potentially toxic chemicals (“BHA / BHT, PEGs, petrochemicals, parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde releasing agents, siloxanes, sulfates, fragrance/parfum and non-biodegradable ingredients”). 

.

Reports Ecouterre:

Users can scan a product in question, and immediately learn if it is “clean” or “dirty.” If deemed dirty, the app will offer similar and safe alternatives to buy instead. The app can also be used to raid your own bathroom closet and get rid of old products that could be unsafe.

There’s even a handy iPhone case reminding you what to watch out for in shampoo.

.
