Plastic pollution is a major threat to our health and the world we live in, which is why we must all play our part to work towards a cleaner and sustainable environment for our current and future generations. As one of the leading sources of plastic pollution is household waste, whereby negligence and lack of environmental awareness leads to plastic being improperly disposed and recycled; ending up in landfills, drains, rivers and eventually reaches the oceans. Increasing environmental awareness at the community level is a simple but vital step to reduce plastic pollution for the long term.
