The incredible amount of over packaging items is ridiculous. I never realized it until I lost my home in a fire and had to repurchase my life. We don’t need single use plastic.

[@rayleighg9235]

That's horrendous

Good video.Thanks

Great Information

[@yaish6753]

The information is totally accurate i witness as a citizen of maldives. And maldivian government have banned single use plastic in all government offices, hospitals, schools and other places.

plastics bottles is a big problem but at least most of them float , the one really making a chaos underwater is the one which doesnt float , like fishing lines plastics , nets etc , plastics in soaps etc , is really sad catch fish deformed . and migration changing every year caused by climate change ......stay safe and healthy ppl
