Plastic Pollution News

As the spotlight shines on world governments, including the Philippines, the goal is clear: to forge a Global Plastics Treaty that will safeguard the lives and livelihoods of Filipinos.

In the coastal communities of the Philippines, the impacts of plastic pollution resonate deeply with those who depend on the ocean for their livelihoods. For Edlyn Rosales, a fisherfolk from Bataan, the daily struggle against plastic debris is a relentless battle for survival."Ang plastic ay napakalaking perwisyo. Ang mga isda ay nasa-suffocate sa mga plastic gayun din ang pagkasira ng aming mga propellers at pagsabit nito sa aming mga lambat.

Ang kasunduang ipatutupad ay dapat bigyan ng pangil upang malimitahan ang paggamit ng plastik at hindi na makadagdag sa kasalukuyang polusyon. Dahil ito ay toxic para sa kalikasan. Para sa susunod na henerasyon, sariwang hangin ang malalanghap nila at malinis na karagatan ang kanilang mapapaliguan.”As world leaders reconvene for the fourth Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee meeting for the Global Plastics Treaty later this month, the call to end the age of plastic is louder than ever.
