RE: Oceans Plastic Free in Years instead of Millennia: Is This Possible?
GREAT to see articles like this on Steemit. I can't believe some of the images we have been seeing of plastic in both the water and water creatures. So it was wonderful to read about the The Ocean Cleanup Foundation. Have visited their site now and will donate.
So sad that it has to take people parting with their 'money' rather than a shift of social and environmental consciousness to stop people from littering. Also that plastic bags etc are still in use! 🙏 🙏 🙏
Our culture is indeed quite bad. At least in my country plastic bags are not allowed to be given away anymore by retailers, supermarkets, markets etc. We have to pay for them. We also started to collect plastic waste separate from the rest. Local government such as Amsterdam are working towards zero waste and CO2 neutral events (outdoor concerts, festivals, Kingsday, Gayparade etc) in the city by 2020.
