Plastic Pollution: A Global
Problem, Local Consequence
“What we discard in one place affects life everywhere.”
“What we discard in one place affects life everywhere.”
In India, plastic waste is often not segregated. It fills open areas, blocks drains, or is burned, releasing toxic smoke.
Plastic waste does not stay where it is thrown. Rivers carry plastic to oceans. Winds move it across borders.
Marine life, ecosystems, and food chains are affected worldwide.
Millions of animals are harmed each year. Plastic is mistaken for food or causes entanglement.
Once plastic enters the ocean, it is extremely difficult to remove.
The most effective solution is reducing plastic before it becomes waste.
Plastic pollution is the result of collective habits. Solutions begin with you.
