How do we change?

The other day when I was cleaning my room, I couldn't believe I was dumping so much of plastic into the dustbin. At that moment I had decided that I should reduce the usage of plastic frm then. But nothing changed the next time I cleaned my room. What Chris Jordan said was
absolutey right. The gigantic numbers that we hear of the wastage is not really making an impact on us. So he attempts to picturise the resources that are just thrown away after using, those which harm our body and those which are used just because of the hype that is created about them. Tragedies like 9/11 are remembered throughout history,but things like deaths caused due to smoking, consuming alcohol, over-eating etc are simply ignored because we think we can't do anything abt it.
He also talks about the BIG question,today being 'HOW DO WE CHANGE? as a culture as well as individually '. Yes, there is an urgent need for 'change' not only in the U.S.A, in every part of the world, to hold responsibility towards the society and the nature, to understand that there is
a thin line between what is essential and what is desired.The change can just begin with a serious thought given to it. And when we change as a culture, it automatically makes an impact on the size of the pictures in Jordan's works.
