The theme for World Environment Day on 5 June 2023 will focus on solutions to plastic pollution under the campaign#BeatPlasticPollution. More than 400 million tonnes of plastic is produced every year, half of which is designed to be used only once. Of that, less than 10 per cent is recycled. An estimated 19-23 million tonnes end up in lakes, rivers and seas; posing a grave threat to the environment and the planet.(photo by Norman Cruz) By Norman Cruz June 1, 2023, 11:55 pm - Advertisement - - Advertisement - Wage earners clean and sort out plastic bottles at a junk shop along Mel Lopez Boulevard in Tondo, Manila. - Advertisement - Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.
