Plastic pollution is a big problem in the world. Countries are discussing ways to reduce it. Researchers say adopting four important policies can help cut plastic waste by 90%. Plastic pollution harms the environment and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. The policies include using recycled materials, limiting new plastic production, investing in waste management, and imposing a small tax on plastic packaging.
Experts believe these policies can make a big difference. By using less single-use plastic items and implementing global policies, we can reduce plastic pollution. However, local rules alone are not enough to solve this global issue. Countries need to work together to create a strong treaty to tackle plastic pollution effectively. It’s important for governments to come together and make the right decisions to protect our planet from the harmful effects of plastic waste.
