Today I made a difference :)
So, a couple of weeks ago I mentioned my blog to a fellow English teacher who lives in Spain. I told him the idea behind it (using less plastic) and said the usual 'feel free to check it out'.
I didn't really think about our conversation again, until I spoke to him today.
He told me that he had used one of my posts about all of the plastic straws in the ocean, in a lesson in his school.
The result was amazing!
The article convinced all 25 of the children to make a pact to stop using plastic straws. Which would save nearly 10,000 straws per year from being thrown away.
I know a lot of people like to read about monetary success stories, but I just wanted to share this story as a way to show success comes in many different forms.
It doesn't matter which niche you are in, we can all make a difference.

This is my favourite post for a very long time Simon and congratulations on making a difference in the world.
Here in NZ we are not using plastics bags and if all people in every part of the world do something like this the world will be clean again
You rock and thanks for helping to save the planet bit by bit
