Situation
We're surrounded by plastic. It's in the single-use packaging we discard, the consumer goods that fill our stores, and in our clothing, which sheds micro-plastic fibres in the wash. Plastics pollution has a direct and deadly effect on wildlife. Thousands of seabirds and sea turtles, seals and other marine mammals are killed each year after ingesting plastic or getting entangled in it. The greatest challenge is the lack of knowledge on the effects of plastic pollution on our planet.
Solution
This projects aims to provide education and inspire communities to engage in plastic waste management solutions. The more communities who engage the higher the chance of success. The more communities who are educated around plastic pollution and techniques for plastic management the higher our chances of curbing this plastic tide.
