How to Stop Plastic Pollution Forever

About this movie

Did you know that humans have produced more than 8.3 billion tons of plastic in the last 70 years and 91% of which have not been recycled? This means that almost all of the plastics ever produced are in a landfill, have been incinerated, or somewhere else in our environment causing destructive impacts to the Earth’s ecosystem.

The fossil fuel industry plans to increase plastic production by over 40% in the next decade, which means more plastic the world has ever seen.

If your bathtub was overflowing, you wouldn’t immediately reach for a mop — you’d first turn off the tap. That’s what we need to do with single-use plastics. This is how we stop plastic pollution forever.
