What lengths some people go to to preserve the environment (15 photos)

In this collection, I will show you cases when one person, and sometimes an entire city, decided that it was time to change something in order to preserve the world around us. They started small - with collecting and sorting garbage. And this is what came out of it.





In the modern world, the aggravated situation with environmental problems worries many. Our standard of living largely depends on how we value and treat what is at our fingertips. Throwing a plastic bottle into a ditch or trash can is everyone's choice. But not every person approaches it consciously, which is why everyone then suffers. Any of us can change this world for the better and take the first step towards solving environmental problems! The main thing is desire.

Old wax crayons



For the last three years I have been collecting old wax crayons. I cut them, clean them, break them all by hand, then melt them into molds and donate them to organizations and schools across Canada. So I have already made more than 12,000 crayons and recycled about 30,000. I am still doing this.
