The other day, I was watching a YouTube video about how much plastic the world consumes on a yearly basis, and how a staggeringly large percentage of this ends up as waste floating around in the ocean. As it would turn out, there’s such a thing called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch—a mass of garbage that’s twice the size of Texas floating around in the North Pacific Ocean.
Indeed, to say this sucks is a massive understatement, and I think we’re all to blame because of this. Now, you may be wondering where I’m going with all this woke environmental talk, but naturally, this has led me to wonder what we, as motorcyclists, can do to reduce waste on an individual level. Indeed, there are many ways to go about this, such as being mindful about the things we buy, as well as being responsible with waste management. However, you could say that these are all reactive measures as opposed to proactive ones.
