PLASTIC
We are unconsciously letting plastic take over our environment - it is in our food chain; our marine life eats plastic and then starves to death; our birds fill themselves up with plastic instead of food - our oceans are polluted so badly they may never recover. Yet we have not done this willfully, or carelessly - we have simply let it happen. Now people are fighting to undo the damage caused by plastic in our environment.
What can we do to help them?

Can we reduce our use of plastic???
The Paris Agreement
The Paris Agreement brings all nations into a common cause to undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change and adapt to its effects, with enhanced support to assist developing countries to do so.
As such, it charts a new course in the global climate effort.
The Paris Agreement’s central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
People in every country need to join in the fight against climate change. Everyone is affected, or will be affected, by these dangers to our planet.
