Everybody loves to shoot or to watch a sunset.

I have been spending lots of time on social media lately (and especially on Instagram), where I see that sunset is a very popular theme - very much loved and appreciated!

People go to watch the sunset as it spreads its largeness and its vivid golden hues into beautiful skies, slowly turning red from passion.

I also love sunsets. I try to enjoy as many as possible and when possible, I shoot it :)

But lately I have started to be very angry with all the garbage I see. So I started picking them up and putting them in a garbage can.

But every day I discover new trash - and that makes me sad and furious at the same time.

I wish to raise awareness, I wish us all to set examples. I wish to start a movement.
No more trash, no more plastic in nature. Even if we do not through it, seeing it and leaving it there is just as bad.

We can be the change we wish to see, but we need to act first..

I can tell you numbers (and I will), but that does not change the facts
Garbage, plastic, dirt, does not belong at the forest, at the beach, in the nature and among flowers.

I used to do it in the past, and of course not looking for credit but if I wish to see change, I need to make it public!

I will also need your help and valuable input

What tag shall we use?

I was thinking something like ..

#onetrushatatime #onepieceatatime #ihelpmyplanet #letssaveearth

Please, please let me know your thoughts.

Of course there is also plenty of things that everyone can do to help reduce the plastic, but this will be a next step. Let's start with what we can see and our mentality can change as soon as we start understanding and touching what is hurting our planet, our earth, our nature.
