They talked a lot about it in the news and Internet, so for sure everyone knows the problem of the whole thing.


There is a solution ! Fortunately we can resolve above problem for example by reducing plastic packaging. When we go shopping we should take our reusable canvas bags, don’t pack fruit and vegetables into another plastic bag, just hold them in our hands. Also we can stop buying plastic bottles every time when we need it or use metal straw instead of the plastic one.
