Duration: 2h 42m
In recent decades, the pace at which we produce and consume plastic has dramatically increased, as has the problem of plastic pollution. The effects of this situation are catastrophic, plastic pollution kills birds and marine animals, and microplastics have made their way from the environment into human organs. People who throw plastic into recycling bins believe they are not contributing to this issue, but in reality, we don’t know if that’s truly the case. Major companies claim to be sustainable, but environmentalists say that their campaigns are actually just PR moves. Meanwhile, the plastic industry plans to expand in the coming decades.
