Plastic Pollution In Sri Lanka

Plastic Pollution In Sri Lanka

Many waste plastics were seen on the sea in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on August 27, 2023. As the United Nations Environment Programme said, every day, the equivalent of 2,000 garbage trucks full of plastic are dumped into the world's oceans, rivers, and lakes. Plastic pollution is a global problem. Every year, 19-23 million metric tonnes of plastic waste leak into aquatic ecosystems, polluting lakes, rivers, and seas.

    A scavenger is collecting plastic bottle waste at Padang Beach in Padang City, West Sumatra, Indonesia, on July 11, 2024. The lack of awareness among residents by throwing rubbish into the sea is resulting in damage to the ecosystem and a decline in fishermen's fish catches around the area. In addition, it is not in line with World Water Day 2024 on the theme, 'Leveraging Water for Peace'. (Photo by Adriana Adie/NurPhoto)
