A student in the Bachelor of Arts English Program at the Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops British Columbia, I ‘was’ an avid traveler before Covid changed the world. Currently holed up in Mexico until travel restrictions ease up, I have been documenting the plastic waste issues that plague the Country. Many in this Country are poorly educated and fail to see the need to keep the Environment clean and protected. Shining the light on these issues is a monumental multi-faceted challenge that makes one person feel very small, and yet if this journey has taught me anything, it begins with each one of us as individuals.
