Earth Ninjas are holding a bottle drop zone in Aldergrove, from now until Sunday, July 25. Anyone who wants to donate and help support the cause can drop off anytime.
The ninja herself Jocelyn Titus is hoping to raise some funds to help cover equipment costs and the dream to start a small circular economy project recycling plastic.
鈥淚n today鈥檚 economy we take a resource out of the ground and turn it into a product that is destined to become waste because of the way it has been designed and made. This is a linear economy and is often summarised by take, make, waste,鈥� Titus said.
She assured that if we fail to act and change the linear economy to a circular economy, the volume of plastic on the market will double, the annual volume of plastic entering the ocean will almost triple.
鈥淲e need to make changes now. Landfills are full and the expense to haul our trash to other landfills costs a lot as well as harming the planet,鈥� Titus added. 鈥淚 hate plastic with a passion and that is what fuels my ambition to help the planet.鈥�
