Deep-diving whales use echolocation in the darkness of the deep sea to hunt, but when the sea is full of plastic, this ability can kill them.
We explore the plastic pollution crisis in the Philippines, focusing on the widespread use of disposable plastic sachets. These sachets are difficult to recycle and significantly contribute to environmental degradation, especially in rivers and oceans. Research indicates that the river flowing through Manila may account for up to 6% of all plastics entering the oceans.
By 2050, marine plastic pollution could quadruple, impacting over 2,000 marine species, warns a comprehensive WWF report on the crisis.
