Last December, I spent some hours here in Sant'Elena, a reserved and silent corner of Venice, taking in the waves and the beauty of a plastic-free environment. This happened... #BeatPlasticPollution #WorldEnvironmentDay
I regained a renewed sense of hope, particularly for my country Nigeria, that we could really resolve this plastic crisis - which is driven by unethical production, consumption, and disposal worldwide. #BeatPlasticPollution #WorldEnvironmentDay
Plastic is part of lifestyle in Nigeria. In 2015, @JambeckResearch listed Nigeria among the Top 20 Countries with the Worst Plastic Waste Management.
The first image tells how all that plastic get into the ocean. #BeatPlasticPollution #WorldEnvironmentDay
On land or into the ocean, 🇳🇬 citizens need know that #PlasticPollution is a public concern. Clean ups, aquatic stock restoration, fishing industry damages, upsetting of food chain, response to groundwater poisoning and ingestion result in economic costs. #BeatPlasticPollution
So as a mighty treat for #WorldEnvironmentDay, this is my new reusable bottle. #BeatPlasticPollution begins with me. And it should with you too. Our varying actions tossed together into one can end #plasticpollution.
