  • Every minute, 1 million plastic bottles are bought. 
  • From 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are used every year.
  • A study estimates that from 1950 to 2017, 8.3 billion tons of plastic have already been produced in the world. If a small amount of plastic already affects so much, imagine how much we've already done away with the environment.

    • We must reduce the excessive consumption of plastic; 
    • Recycle and mainly reuse.
