I t’s never been more important than NOW for solutions to the plastic pollution problem. But how easy is it to turn the plastic tide given that it is such a huge problem – is it even possible?
We hope it is, and wherever there is hope, there is a chance. So, we are optimistic that if we all do our bit towards finding a fix to the plastic pollution problem, we will get out of this self-inflicted mess.
It’s going to take scientists, engineers, TV presenters politicians, teachers to do their bit, as well as the everyday person on the street – which includes you, no matter who you are and regardless of your age.
We all have to be in it together. Only then will we have a fighting chance.
We owe it to ourselves but more importantly the innocent wildlife with whom we share this planet.
Below is a compilation of resources we think will be helpful to anyone wanting to learn about what some of the solutions might be, as well as what the future might hold.
We are all the solution
“It is one world. And it’s in our care. For the first time in the history of humanity, for the first time in 500 million years, one species has the future in the palm of its hands. I just hope he realises that that is the case”
Sir David Attenborough
