This illustration, showing a Gentoo Penguin who died due to plastic consumption. I want to impact the planet in a positive way. Simply educating myself and others about how some industy and garbage are affecting our planet is a good start. Now more than ever, I feel we have to make changes to our methods and behaviours to maintain planet.

I created this image to use on social media and in an info-graphic I presented to the David Suzuki Foundation. There are a lot of great articles on these topics. Here are a few I’ve liked from sources I trust.
