Beat Plastic Pollution is the theme for the World Environment Day 2018. It hinges on the fact that the organisations of the world, communities and other stake-holders pay heed to warnings of an impending catastrophe. A combination of micro- and macro-level interventions are being pitched by the United Nations to manage the plastic menace.
The low cost of production and durability makes plastic a favoured item. Though the world may find it difficult to avoid plastics altogether, its proper management can reduce the adverse effects a great deal. Onmanorama takes you through the world of plastics and its environmental impact.
