My Contribution to the Environment

A kitten claws at its own face, tormented by the plastic bag on its whiskers. It begins to bleed, slowly at first then exponentially faster. The plastic bag becomes damp with blood as it squirms, squealing with pain. Is this the world you want to live in? Where every kitten is like this, dying in the streets of our beautiful cities. Literally, every kitten! I won’t leave the question to your diseased mind. The answer is no, you don’t. Is the war going to come down to plastics and kittens. No. It will be plastics and humans. Or kittens and humans! No its actually plastics and humans. Plastics have come a long way since their oil based polymers, and have shaped our world in countless places. From transportation to medical plants, balloons to sanitation, plastics continue to shape our world every day. One way they are not helpful though, is on the faces of kittens. It is not just here on land that unrecycled plastic bags run loose, frolicking in delight as they kill household pets and rape nuns. In the rivers, the victims are otters. In the oceans, the victims are seals. You may notice that the victims are always the cutest animals in the world. This is not an accident. Cute animals are always the targets of oil-based polymers that aren’t recycled. So recycle your shit, or they will literally kill everything you love in this world.
