Ban the single use plastics (bottles, bags etc)
The world is currently at a tipping point. If people choose to believe it or not, the next few years could be the make or break point for the human race. We have many issues to target in order to make our staying on this planet more sustainable. Starting with banning single use plastics.
The world’s annual consumption of plastic materials has increased from around 5 million tonnes in the 1950s to nearly 100 million tonnes today.(https://plasticfree.co.uk/plastic-stats/)
I could go on and on with statistics on how awful it is but the evidence is all around us. Our planet we call home is being destroyed by us. No other creature does the same damage we do and if we want to continue to live here then we need to make a change. We claim to be an intelligent race, let’s see about that.
