World Environment Day 5 June 2018 #BeatPlasticPollution
Say no to plastic, say yes to Fair Trade crafts of natural materials.

The theme of the World Environment Day 2018 is "Beat Plastic Pollution." The theme is a call for all of us to make changes in our daily lives to reduce plastic waste. The pollution caused by plastic waste causes major damage to wildlife, human health and the environment. Approximately 13 million tonnes of plastic per year ends up in our oceans. In the oceans, plastic waste threatens vulnerable marine wildlife and coral reefs. The plastic waste decomposes into micro-plastics and seeks into water supply - and thus into our bodies. What harm causes it? Scientists are still not sure, but plastic contains a number of chemicals, many of which are poisonous or disturb hormones. Plastic can also act as a magnet for other pollutants such as dioxins, metals and pesticides.
Plastics have many valuable uses - but too often (50%) it becomes single use items, such as plastic bags, plastic bottles etc single use items. Only used once and a short time – but remaining as a very long-lasting problem for animals, nature and coming generations. Source: UN World Environment Day
