June 5 – World Environment Day: Act Today for a Better Tomorrow

Why Is Plastic Pollution Such a Serious Problem?

• Every year, around 430 million tons of plastic are produced, and one-third of it is used only once before being discarded.
• It is estimated that approximately 11 million tons of plastic waste end up in the oceans and seas annually.
• Plastics, which take hundreds of years to decompose in nature, gradually break down into microplastics and contaminate the soil, water, and even the air.
• Today, microplastics have been detected in the water we drink, the air we breathe, and even in human blood.
• This situation poses a threat not only to environmental health but also to human health and food safety.

What Can We Do as Individuals?
Protecting the environment doesn’t require giant leaps—just small, consistent choices. Here are a few sustainable habits you can easily adopt in your daily life:

• Make recycling a habit: Separate your waste properly to contribute to recycling systems.
• Reduce single-use products: Use alternatives like reusable bags, bottles, and containers.
• Save energy and water: Prevent unnecessary consumption to protect both nature and your wallet.
• Choose local and seasonal products: This helps reduce your carbon footprint.
• Raise awareness: A simple conversation can spark meaningful change.
