The Problem of Plastic

What is the point of single-use plastic? Only 16% of it is recycled, and too much reaches the sea where it harms marine ecosystems.
 
The region of Casares/Manilva is well known for its beautiful beaches, an important resource for both tourism and local wildlife
 

However…

The Mediterranean Sea has one of the highest levels of plastic pollution in the world
 
80% of rubbish collected on beaches is plastic waste.
 
If nothing changes, by 2050 there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish
