The Maldives To Ban Single-Use Plastics by 2023 | NBC Nightly News
Maldives is doing this because they just want to die old, let them live longer
Oh my. I have always wanted to go there and the whole world uses such horrible plastic. If you pay attention to one week of your own usage then go to 2 weeks-then one month-it is shocking
Republicans: no. They need discounts. And we need more oil
They are leaders for us all!! Soda companies have profited off polluting the oceans and planet with plastic so are Johnson and Johnson and Unilever #1 in contamination!
Try should try to pyrolysis all that garbage for natural gas
I liked it didn’t even watch the vid.
Why wait 2 more years?! Why not ban single use plastic right now?!
Aaaaaaaagh!!!, wonderful decision.

like drosophila melanogster, we wallow in our our own offal until we meet our own demise…
Good initiative. Though of course, caring for our planet includes caring for EVERYTHING that lives on it.

About time
Government, celebrities, radio, ECT watch you through tv screen, phone, electronics not camera. They have ear pieces and watch you live at home and have inside jokes changing words and characters on tv shows ECT. They have now been equipped with radar technology that can read your thoughts using them to harm you especially on social media with programs. It goes in your home, public,. They listen to your phone on or off for years back.
Plastic Garbage of India 1 billion people
St Augustine beach in Florida tried banning one time use plastics, Publix used their power to overturn the will of the people for financial profit
Respect
Other countries should follow.
Ban immediately!
In many American cities thousands of plastic bags are distributed to grocery store customers. In many cases a person buying as few as 10 items is given 5 bags. The store tells its baggers to separate items by type. The solution: take your reusable shopping bag and SAY NO TO PLASTIC! I always do that and I see more people doing it.
Every country should do this. Every human should have a canteen and local shops should have water filters for customers to refill. Glass bottles get heavy to carry around and break. Although I like this movement.
I have read that in some places a significant number of people buy heavy gage multi-use plastic grocery bags with the good intent of reusing them, then never remember to take them the next time they go shopping and end up throwing them away.
Why wait until 2023?
Over 11,000 scientists from all over the world have gathered to declare a climate emergency. Their article, published in the journal Bioscience, explores the science behind this problem and how to deal with it.
In recent years, this topic has been raised constantly. However, signatories from 153 countries note that society has taken too little action to prevent a climate catastrophe. Despite long-standing claims that burning fossil fuels is causing serious environmental damage, global industry has been slow to switch to alternative and cleaner energy sources. Of course, these are banal business laws – but greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere are steadily growing, and humanity itself suffers from this first of all. Ladies and gentlemen ! I wish you happiness !, sorry that my text is off topic! I am from Russia, I live in Siberia, I am 63 years old, I position myself as an inventor! For obvious reasons, my know-how did not find popularity in Russia, in a country where 50% of the budget is formed from fossil fuels, my invention is doomed to be forgotten! I hope for caring business people who are not indifferent to the environment and nature. My power take-off rotor (conveyor type) will allow you to obtain energy from the flow of water (river, sea currents) on an industrial scale, using my submersible power plants without a dam, will help you avoid burning – coal, gas, oil, atom.
