Did you know that humans have produced more than 8.3 billion tons of plastic in the last 70 years (1) and 91% of which have not been recycled? (2) 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 (3) 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.
