Hi Aleyda
You said you, "would like to hear what do you think could work to tackle plastic pollution and waste of resource".
You've probably heard of the
The Ocean Cleanup Project which is trying to eliminate the
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. What you may not know is that they've also begun rolling-out a technology that
removes rubbish from the world's 1,000 most polluting rivers before it can enter the oceans. They say that roughly 80% of all ocean pollution comes from these rivers. So if it lives-up to expectations, this could drastically reduce the problem.
Of course, it would be nice if rubbish did not end-up in our streets and waterways in the first place. This
GreenExecutive forum post by
Lisa Wilson talks about ideas for preventing rubbishing from being discarded onto land which would thereby prevent it from being washed into waterways.
I agree with
Ben Bailey about the need to ban non-recyclable single-use beverage containers and have deposit legislation for recyclable containers. That said, my understanding is that there are drawbacks with all of the current mainstream options for recyclable bottles and cans (eg. PET, glass, aluminium). Fortunately, there's a lot of R&D taking place to try to find something better. Hopefully, more viable options will be discovered and widely adopted.
