We appeal to all our friends, families and organisations to join hands in taking the pledge against Plastic Pollution.
Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues, as rapidly increasing production of disposable plastic products overwhelms the world’s ability to deal with them. Plastic pollution is most visible in developing Asian and African nations, where garbage collection systems are often inefficient or nonexistent.
Every day approximately 8 million pieces of plastic pollution find their way into our oceans. There may now be around 5.25 trillion macro and microplastic pieces floating in the open ocean. Weighing up to 269,000 tonnes. Plastics consistently make up 60 to 90% of all marine debris studied.
If we want to leave a healthy planet to our children then the time to take action is now! We appeal to everyone young, old and all organisation to support the #PlasticPledge.
#PlasticPledge is an awareness initiative with the aim of fighting the scourge of plastic pollution. If we know better, we can do better and the most important thing that all of us can do as a community is to create awareness.
We challenge Facebook pages, Fan groups, LinkedIn profiles and organisations to take the pledge and to challenge others to do the same.
