Plastic is an extremely versatile material that has helped make our lives easier and safer. But plastic’s durability and other advantages are exactly what have led to a global plastic pandemic. So massive is the scale of plastic pollution that unless we change our habits, by 2050, the amount of plastic in the sea could outweigh all the fish! This is why this year’s World Environment Day—a global event celebrated on 5 June every year—calls on people everywhere to use their choices and voices to beat plastic pollution.
