Typhoon Gaemi Aftermath In The Philippines
Plastic wastes are being left beside the river in Marikina City, Philippines, on July 25, 2024, after the massive flood in Metro Manila due to the enhanced southwest monsoon and Typhoon Gaemi. The Philippines, one of the world's top plastic polluters, is generating 2.7 million metric tons of plastic garbage each year, with 20-30% escaping into the environment. Plastic garbage is also clogging the drainage system, resulting in major flooding across the Metro. During typhoons, low-lying coastal towns are being hit hardest by the plastic pollution disaster.
