MSSpotlight Environment and Sustainability: Corporates, LGUs join hands to eliminate plastic pollutants
Over the years, people have seen how plastic has become a dominant material in various industries because of its diversity, hence a radical increase in its production from the 1970s to the 1990s. But too much of something doesn’t lead to good things.
The first World Environment Day in 1973 was celebrated with the theme “Only One Earth,” highlighting the need for society to protect the Earth. Since then, the event has taken on various environmental concerns as its subject to guide people towards a more positive outcome. In recent efforts, like last year, World Environment Day focuses on sustainability because it promotes inclusivity for present and future generations.
Côte d’Ivoire is hosting World Environment Day 2023 after setting an example of combatting plastic pollution. The West African country since 2014 has banned plastic bag use and shifted to reusable packaging. The country’s largest city, Abidjan, has also become a hub for environmentally-minded start-ups.
Since plastic contamination is a global problem, much as pollution and climate change are, the idea of environmental preservation and protecting the planet appear to be difficult for an individual. But as World Environment Day emphasizes, everyone can play a part in the plastic crisis.
