According to experts, plastic (bags, plates, bottles…) can take up to 500 years to decompose—depending on its structure and size. Around the world, plastic pollution is a big problem, for now, in some places more than others, but it will eventually affect everyone.
Plastic waste in seas and oceans threatens marine life, it produces chemical contamination and creates microplastic that eventually will end up in potable water.
On this World Environmental Day, let's reflect on our abusive use of non-recyclable plastic and commit ourselves to implement more sustainable and eco-friendly practices for Mother Earth's and future generations' welfare.
