Green Peace, a global advocate for sustainable development, is making a plea to multi-national corporations to #BreakFreeFromPlastics.
Single use plastic are considered as one of the worst pollutants as they consume a lot of resources while being produced, all to be used just once, and most often miss out on getting recycled and end up cluttering landfills and the oceans. Examples of some single use plastic include, plastic straws, bottle caps, ear buds, plastic covers etc.
Making a strong statement against plastics, students held placards that read, 'Once Plastic sticks, it starts ditching the earth'.
