What Is
Plastic Pollution?
Plastic pollution refers to any kind of plastic that ends up in the environment. These plastics fill landfills, pollute the air, and kill different species of animals.
Plastic releases harmful chemicals into the surrounding soil, which can then seep into groundwater or other surrounding water sources, and also the ecosystem.
Plastic pollution alters habitats and natural processes, reducing ecosystems' ability to adapt to climate change, affecting millions of people's livelihoods, limiting food production capabilities, and hampering social well-being.
