The Instagram famous couple, Marie Fe and Jake Snow who are known for their travel photography and jealousy-inducing Instagram account are using their platform for awareness. They are talking about the pollution caused by plastic on the beaches.
The couple first went to the picturesque pink sand and turquoise water beach in Indonesia's Komodo National Park in 2018 and fell in love with the marvel of nature.
The couple shares the current images of the pink beach
A year after, the couple, again decided to go to the beautiful beach and were horrified to see the condition of the beach. There was plastic all over and the beach looked more like the inside of a trash can.
The couple, on their official Instagram account, shared two similar images of the beach but from different years. The couple was in the same spot but the beach looked different.
Marie Fe who is from Germany and Jake Snow who belongs to Australia shared the two images with their 490k followers on Earth Day. They captioned the image, "2018 PINK BEACH -> 2019 PLASTIC BEACH ??
These two photos were taken in exactly the same spot one year apart from each other? It's #EARTHDAY today and this is the reality of the horrible situation we find ourselves in ! Even the most secluded and untouched beauties of the world like this Pink Beach in the Komodo Islands are being drowned in plastic! We never imagined that upon return to our favourite beach in the world we would find such a disturbing scene! It really broke our hearts to see the amount of rubbish that had washed up on this once beautiful beach."

They added, "If we don't act now, this will become a normality! Our beaches our oceans and our world will be covered in plastic. Photoshopping the rubbish out wont fix the problem, showing the reality of what's going on, will! Let's call this what it is, a #plasticparadise!! How many beautiful places do you know that have become a plastic paradise?We want to start using the hashtag #plasticparadise to start shining a spotlight onto places we notice that have a real plastic problem! We hope that this honesty and exposure will bring about pressure that will lead to clean ups and change!"
In the gram they asked their followers to join them, "JOIN THE MOVEMENT, use #plasticparadise when you see a problem, share this post, refuse single use plastic and go one step further by letting businesses that still use them know that you don't support it by verbalising your stance! "
They also shared various videos with their followers showing the exact condition of the beach.
