Plastic Pollution In Sri Lanka

Plastic Pollution In Sri Lanka

Plastic litter was seen on Wellawatta Beach 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.
