Answer:
10 Ways to Reduce Plastic Pollution
Answer:
SOLUTIONS TO PLASTIC POLLUTION
How to reduce plastic waste?
Materials
Today we can!
The mass of plastic detritus present in the oceans is so enormous that it is called the “7th continent”. At this rate, there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans by 2050.
What causes plastic pollution? And most importantly, what are the possible solutions to reduce and prevent it?

What is plastic pollution?
Plastic pollution is caused by the accumulation of plastic waste in the environment. It can be categorized in primary plastics, such as cigarette butts and bottle caps, or secondary plastics, resulting from the degradation of the primary ones. It can also be defined by its size, from microplastics - small particles (<5 mm) of plastic dispersed in the environment - to macroplastics.
