Every minute, every single day, about a truckload of plastic enters our oceans. And to date, only 9％of that has been recycled.
We buy a bottle of water, drink it for a few minutes, and toss its permanent packaging "away". We eat potato chips, finish them, then throw their permanent packaging "away". We buy produce, take it out of the unnecessary plastic wrap, then throw its permanent packaging "away".
The cycle is endless, and it happens countless times every single day. As far as we try to toss a piece of plastic—whether it's into a recycling bin or not——it does not disappear. Chances are, it ends up polluting our communities, oceans or waterways in some form.
For years, we've been told the problem of plastic packaging can be solved through batter individual action. But the truth is that we cannot recycle our way out of this mess.
Recycling alone will never stop the flow of plastics into our oceans；we have to get to the source of the problem and slow down the production of all this plastic waste. Think about it: if your home was flooding because you had left the tap on, your first step wouldn't be to start mopping. You'd first cut the flooding off at its source—the tap.
We need corporations—those like Coca-Cola, Unilever, Starbucks and Neatlé that continue to produce throwaway plastic bottles—to step up and take their responsibility for the mess they've created. We will continue to do our part, but it's time for the world's largest corporations to do theirs.
A. This is their problem to deal with.
B. Plastic pollution is becoming very serious.
C. But here is the problem—there is no "away".
D. In many ways, our plastic problem is no different.
E. We think that if we simply recycle we're doing our part.
F. It's impossible for us to get rid of plastic pollution completely.
G. Since the 1950s, some 8. 3bn tons of plastic have been produced worldwide.
