Drowning in a sea of plastic
Thailand is more aware than ever of the threat posed by plastic waste to the ecosystem and environment, especially trash in the oceans. As seen on the news, marine life is ingesting plastic waste and suffering immeasurably.
Other countries are also hurting from the deluge of plastic waste. Ocean Conservancy, a non-profit group, reports that 150 million tonnes of plastic waste is circulating in oceans, seas and other water sources, having built up since the 1950s.
