In the summer night
The evening still seems present,
But the dawn is here.
To what region of the clouds
Has the wandering moon come home?

Looking at the moon and stars we are seeing our own mind.

Plastics have become part and parcel of our daily routines, our day-to-day purchases, and in the air we breathe and water we drink.
I’ve found myself wondering how recycled products will be recycled as well as how to become more aware of the plastics I generally purchase without any concern of where these containers go after I toss them in the recycle bin.

Is there a means to explore how to recycle pill bottles…plant-based containers…supplements, electronics, clothing, appliances, etc. other than tossing them into the oceans and backyards of other countries?
How can a single consumer begin to encourage corporations to change their packaging to be more earth friendly?
