Text 1: A recent report by Science magazine shows that the world has produced about 8.3 billion tons of plastic so far, of which 6.3 billion tons are now waste. And 79% of that 6.3 billion tons is now in landfills and the natural environment.

Plastic is commonly used because it is convenient, cheap, and easy to make. However, plastic has a major limitation that it takes a long time to decompose, which means that plastic waste will cause an environmental disaster if there is no solution.

Vietnam is one of the countries that produce the most plastic waste in the world. In Vietnam, the number of plastic bags, plastic bottles, plastic cups, straws, foam boxes… are used a lot, which is superior to other countries.

In Vietnam, a number of social organizations have launched campaigns such as “7 days of challenge”, “one less bottle, save the future”, with the goal of promoting the community to join hands against plastic waste. .
