It is our addiction to these plastics that has driven a demand for their production and in turn, a global environmental problem.

According to WWF-Philippines, a million plastic bottles have already been made, all of which take hundreds of years to disintegrate into smaller pieces of plastic called microplastic, which then enters the food chain and affects us. 

The Ateneo de Davao University decided to include the ban on single-use plastics in their new environmental policies which was implemented last October 19, 2018. Items such as plastic bottles and plastic straws were some of single-use plastics banned, thus causing students and workers to use reusable tumblers in the school campus. The picture presented is one of the posters attached in the school's canteen during the implementation of the new policy, and was later on posted as a meme in the AdDU Memes' official Facebook page.
