  السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ Hello dear readers! This is my 3rd entry for a reflective journal on sustainable issues or practices. The reason I chose this topic is because it is a place where I love to let my hair down and recharge my batteries. Normally, it is calm and serene there. To look around me and see the beauty of mother nature at it's finest. Sadly, its beauty is becoming ugly because of the effects of plastics pollution. One of the objective sustainable development goals is to protect our nature from being harmed. Therefore, in this entry, I would like to explain this issue in detail.

Actually the purpose I make this blog is because I would like to share my own understanding and personal experience based on the knowledge that I gain from this course which is Sustainable Development: Issues, Principles and Practices. Like the saying, 'not knowing is hence, not loving', so let me introduce myself first.
