World Environment Day
Jun 05, 2023
The 2023 theme chosen by UNEP, the United Nations Environment Programme, is: #BeatPlasticPollution and aims to remind us how important everyone's actions are to combat plastic pollution. More than 400 million tonnes of plastic is produced worldwide each year, half of which is designed for one-time use. Of these, less than 10% is recycled. It is estimated that 19-23 million tons end up in lakes, rivers and seas each year. Microplastics – tiny particles of plastic up to 5 mm in diameter – make their way into food, water and the air. Discarded or burned single-use plastic harms human health and biodiversity, and pollutes every ecosystem, from mountaintops to the ocean floor.
