'No Pollution by plastics'
The United Nations designated on June 5 the 'World Environment Day.
The celebration of this day offers the opportunity to broaden the foundations of a well-informed public opinion and the behavior of individuals, companies and communities inspired by the sense of their responsibility in terms of conservation and improvement of the environment. .
Each year, the 'World Environment Day' is organized around a theme and serves to focus attention on a particular pressing issue.
The theme of this edition is 'No Pollution by Plastics'.
Each year 8 million tons of plastic are dumped into the oceans, threatening marine and human life, and destroying natural ecosystems.
The objective is to raise awareness about the need to reduce the amount of plastic that is poured into our oceans.
The celebration of this day aims to make us aware that we can change habits in our day to day to reduce the heavy burden of the contamination of plastics in our nature, in our wildlife and on our own health.
While it is true that plastic has many valuable uses, we rely too much on single-use or disposable plastic and that has serious environmental consequences.
