Reduce the Use of Plastic Bags
Plastic waste is an increasingly harmful component of our environment, polluting our oceans and causing the destruction of marine life, among other ills. Plastic was invented in 1907, and is found all over the world, making itself an essential part of our life. There are many forms of plastic, and one of its key features is that it lasts, and lasts, and lasts - causing growing mountains of waste across the planet. Research continues, at Kyoto University and elsewhere, on methods of degrading plastic. The target to reduce the use of plastic bags is only one step in the plastic pollution battle. It is a worthwhile aim for all of us. |
