WOULD YOU LIKE A BAG?

Plastic bags - they are everywhere. We’re used to seeing them around, to using them, they are something common to our everyday lives. A cheap object that is useful for a certain amount of time, that can be easily discarded - they’re nothing precious. We’re also used to seeing them flying around, getting carried away by the wind, overflowing from our bins, laying around on the ground - nothing out of the ordinary. They’re someone else's problem to solve, to discard of, to recycle. Someone else has to deal with them, not us. Or is it?

The main source of debris pollution in the ocean, the bags’ toxic elements are harmful to marine wildlife. They are taking over our planet, and only we can change that. Making the classic plastic bags obsolete is in everyone’s hands. They are choking wild animals, they fill their stomachs, they even fill ours! If we keep turning a blind eye to the problem, soon it will be too late.

What will the environment look like in the near future?
