Plastic, Not Fantastic

 

Plastic, Not Fantastic

Plastic is great because it’s so durable. And it’s also bad because it’s so durable.

Over 300 million tons of plastic is produced each year - yet only 9% of it is recycled. Inevitably, a lot of the plastic waste ends up in the ocean and in the stomachs of fish and birds. 

In recent years, the Indian and Australian governments have pledged to reduce plastic waste in the ocean. They’ll identify new technology and create circular models so plastic doesn’t go to waste, instead it gets reused and reused and reused.
