Dianna Cohen (Plastic Pollution Coalition)

There are MANY successful people in the environmentally friendly niche that are continuing to change the world. For this post I am going to go into depth over someone who has made many great improvements for this niche. The women I am going to be lightly speaking about is Dianna Cohen. She is the co-founder of Plastic Pollution Coalition, which is a group that is working towards a world FREE of plastic pollution.

As you know there has been a lot of publicity in the media lately over the disapproval of plastic straws. This comes along with the controversy of that as well. Dianna Cohen and the Plastic Pollution Coalition have started this nationwide spread over plastic straws and the possible solutions.

This past week I was in Florida with my family and it was evident that this change is being SUCCESSFULLY enacted across the country and world. At one of the restaurants there was a sign that mentioned there was a plastic straw ban. In many of the restaurants we went to there were paper straws instead of plastic ones. This is a good alternative in helping the environment.


Dianna Cohen became successful by understanding there was untapped knowledge to be shared. Many people did not realize that plastic straws were cause this HUGE of an issue. Something that makes her stand out is her ability to see a need and make the rest of the world aware of it. If someone is willing to start the trend and be vulnerable in the business world they can be successful. Taking a chance and and implementing a safe and more eco-friendly option has and will be WORTHWHILE.

This world needs more people who are willing to STAND UP and make a DIFFERENCE like her.

What if all products were eco-friendly?

There are many different directions and choices that a company must decide on when coming up with their approach. Many companies loosely follow regulations for the environment. If there were greater regulations and precautions, they could help improve the environment and start a nationwide movement.  I know that these companies have a lot to weight in their decision . It is essential that they compare both prices and regulations, but the environment needs to be put at a higher priority. Many companies are aware of the fact that what they do is not benefiting the Earth. I think that as the consumer, we have way more pull in what companies do than we like to think. If we stop supporting companies that pollute the environment or produce more waste than is necessary, we can change the way that they operate. What if there was a rule in place that made companies follow more serious regulations? The possibilities could be endless. The choices that companies have can greatly affect the cours

Recycle vs Compost

This post is going to go into depth on the comparison of two very good options that help aid in the improvement of our world. Both recycling and composting are good alternatives to your everyday lifestyle, that can make a HUGE difference when it comes to the environment. Recycling is a way that we are able to reuse materials (paper, glass, plastic, etc.) for similar or varying purposes in the future. This is a very common option for most people and it does make a big difference compared to those that don't recycle. Although, this is a good option it also has some downsides to it. The process of recycling requires a lot of energy. Composting is a process that turns organic materials into nutrient-rich soil or fertilizer. I don't believe that this is one of the more common practices, but it still can play an important role in improving the environment. This process allows you to get rid of some of your food waste from your kitchen, leaves, grass, and many other things. This

Critique of Shailene Woodley

Shailene Woodley is a VERY successful women in the movie industry. She has also been known to be an activist for many different causes. This post is going to be a subtle critique on the way that Shailene Woodley goes about her activism. I think that she has done a fantastic job of getting the word out for many different causes, but may have gone about it the wrong way. She is someone with a HUGE  platform and HUGE following, which makes it easy for people to see what she is doing. There have been a few cases where she has been arrested and seen in various interviews talking about her positions. As someone in the limelight, I think that she has a much greater responsibility in presenting these issues responsibly. Many people see celebrities as those to look at, but not speak. I don't think that's how it should be, but that is how it has been. As a celebrity, I think she has to be aware of the way it can come off in the media. When celebrities present their ideas, they
