The tide of public opinion is turning on plastic.
The image of a whale with plastic stuck in its mouth on the 成人快手 nature documentary Blue Planet 2 woke people up across the world to the reality of plastic pollution in our oceans. Experts think that by 2050, there could be more plastic than fish in the sea. Communities across the globe are saying that something must be done.
