As a young reporter for the environment, I investigated the impact of plastic waste on our environment. Figures show that we are surely in a crisis and if we keep ignoring this issue we will end up buried ourselves with our own waste. Plastic waste is certainly detrimental to our health and to several animal species. In this article several suggestions are made including: using glass instead of plastic bottles, using re-usable plastic bottles and introduce refundable deposit systems on plastic bottles.
