plastic pollution and our oceans.

Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, and one of the places where it has the most damaging effects is at sea. Every year, millions of tons of plastic end up in the world's oceans, where it harms marine life and ecosystems. However, there are steps that we can take to reduce plastic at sea and protect our oceans for future generations.

 *Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

One of the most effective ways to reduce plastic at sea is to reduce the amount of plastic that we use in our daily lives. By using fewer plastic products, we can reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in the oceans. This can be done by using reusable shopping bags, water bottles, and coffee cups, and by recycling as much plastic as possible.

 *Support Plastic Bans

Many countries and cities around the world have introduced plastic bans to reduce plastic pollution. By supporting these bans, we can help to reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in the oceans. We can also support companies that have made commitments to reduce their plastic use or switch to more sustainable materials.

 *Participate in Beach Cleanups

Beach cleanups are an effective way to remove plastic from the oceans and prevent it from causing further harm. By participating in beach cleanups, we can help to reduce the amount of plastic that ends up in the oceans and protect marine life and ecosystems.

 *Support Ocean Conservation Organizations

There are many organizations that are working to protect the oceans and reduce plastic pollution. By supporting these organizations through donations or volunteering, we can help to reduce plastic at sea and protect our oceans for future generations.

 *Advocate for Change

We can also advocate for change by speaking out about the issue of plastic pollution and urging our governments and businesses to take action. By raising awareness and putting pressure on decision-makers, we can help to reduce plastic at sea and protect our oceans.

In conclusion, reducing plastic at sea is an urgent environmental challenge that requires action from all of us.🌴

Ecological life - the beginning.
Like everyone else, we were not born with knowledge. Everything
we write about and talk about is things we have learned and still learning all the time.

To begin understanding and implementing a different, more eco-friendly way of life you need first to start asking questions, mostly asking ourselves. What do we want? What are we willing to do for that? What are we willing to give up while changing our lifestyle?

And what we will not change no matter what? What are the priorities of each of us? And countless more questions that are constantly updated and changing in the process.

The Covid-19 pandemic that started in 2020 has taught us all that both planning and spontaneity can change in a blink of an eye regardless of our control or our plans so what is important is the present which of course will also affect the future.

Somewhere in 1997, we founded our company and named it Rain Forest already knowing which way we are going. The company was initially involved in the field of communications and even then, we had a small part in our mind (which was inactive for many years) that pondered in our head and made sure we do not forget that our planet has limited resources and in the future, this issue will become a significant issue in human life in all aspects including political and economic

Over the years we realized that the changes had to come at a local level mainly in the western world where there is insane consumption surplus, so we started asking ourselves why and how we can change that, changing our personal consumer behavior was the first change we made.

Like everyone else in that time I ordered a lot of products online that are nice to have that I do not really need, I did not think about collaborative driving, saving energy, and bought more food than needed, I saw in the material surplus that surrounded us (excess clothing, products, bigger car, bigger house, etc ...) a measure of my success and abundance

In time I learned that in order for abundance to be real it needs space, and the ability to choose (deliberation is a good thing), and of course asking questions

Part of the process and change was from the very preoccupation with economic issues that are part of my education (I am an accountant) as well as from a lot of meetings I had with families in the organization where I volunteer that takes care of budget-balancing for families in need.

In almost every meeting with a family, I have discovered that people's fear is from the feeling that downsizing is associated with lack of success and lack of abundance. Saying no to something unnecessary brands you as "frugal or stingy". And I realized that change is first and foremost a change of state of mind for all of us. That "less is sometimes more" and that the enjoyment of what is and not of what I do not have is the main thing

And for starters here are some questions we ask.

Do I buy and store much more than I need and want?
Do I want to live more freely both economically and in terms of social conventions?
Am I afraid of change?

Do I feel I am "enslaved" to my consumer culture?
Also this one: If I had to give up one electrical product I have at home what would I easily give up? (Like a coffee machine, iron, etc ..)
Am I willing to try and change something in my lifestyle? for a week or even a month??

(Like for example a week where you go shopping at the supermarket only once or alternatively every day you buy what you need for that day on;y, or a month without buying clothes, or going to a restaurant, etc ...)



In recent years, Izi and I have been trying to live our existence and actually live the simple life of abundance. We do not have red lines and we do not have sweeping prohibitions because we do not believe in it, what we have is a lot of knowledge and questions that help us instead of deliberating to decide what is right and appropriate at that moment

And you know what? we are missing nothing, we, you might say, have it all

"Be the change you wish to see in the World- Gandhi"
זאת חלק מתפיסת החיים שלי . לנסות לשפר ולהיות יותר סובלנית , אדיבה ופחות שיפוטית לאחרים ולעצמי.
מתוך השינוי שהקורונה הביאה לחיינו חשבתי על משהו שעדיין יכול לקיים את
תפיסת עולמי הצנועה במרחב האישי ובמרחב ההציבורי סביבי. וככה נוצרו המסכות הללו.
כל מסכה עוצבה מרמת הדוגמא והמילים באהבה רבה וכולן הודפסו ונתפרו בארץ . (וזה כשלעצמו משמח )
יש 6 דגמים עם מילים ו6 דוגמים מדליקים לילדים
עשויות מ2 שכבות של בד נושם ונעים .
מוזמנות להצטרף " למהפכה הטובה" ולבחור את מה שרוצות לשנות .
יום נפלא

Be kind -
2 מילים קצרות שמכילות כל כך הרבה.

תדמיינו לרגע עולם שבו כל אחד לפני ש היה מגיב למשהו אחר , היה עוצר, נושם וחושב איך התגובה שלו לא תגרום לצד השני לענות ולהוכיח מי צודק , אלא להיפך לעצור ולחשוב איך המעשים שלי משפיעים על אחרים ולמה חשוב שאנסה להשפיע לטובה .
זאת האמונה שלי באיך נהפוך את העולם הזה לקצת יותר טוב, לא במעשים גדולים אלא בהתחלה בהתנהגות שלנו אחד לשני פה בין הסובבים אותנו .
וכרגע אחת הדרכים לפזר את האמונה הזו היא עם המסכות שיצרנו שכל אחת מהן באה לעורר מחשבה ופעולה מיידית לעשות טוב יותר .
מוזמנים להצטרף ל"מהפכה הטובה" . יום מקסים
