According to the western media, August 28 reported, Greenpeace August 25, issued a report pointed out that the world every second with more than 200 kg plastics being dumped into the ocean, the cumulative annual more than 800 million tons of plastic in the ocean, and earth has formed five huge garbage island.
EFE reported on August 25th, the report pointed out that there are about 5 trillion to 50 trillion tons of plastic debris in the ocean. Although the specific figures are not certain, but it is certain that this figure must be very high, and this does not include the deposition of plastic debris on the sea and the beach. Although some of the waste can be degraded within 6 months, but some may remain in the ocean for hundreds of years.
In addition, the organization's experts estimate that by 2020 the production of plastic waste will reach 9 times in 1980, the annual output will reach 50 million tons. Experts warn that half of the increase will be produced in the last 10 years.
Reported that these hundreds of plastic waste caused by human activities in recent years has been in the Pacific, the Atlantic and India ocean piled up into 5 huge waste island. 80% of the marine garbage from the ground, including 15% of garbage floating in the sea, 15% of garbage below the surface smooth and moving, and 70% of the deposition at the bottom of the sea, so people can see garbage is just the tip of the iceberg.
Experts point out that Spain in the highest consumption of plastic in the European countries ranked fifth in the top of the European countries. Every day up to 50 million plastic containers are put into the market for a beverage cup. Less than 20 million of these drinks are properly recycled, and the rest will be burned, or thrown directly into the environment.
Reported that the degradation rate of plastic waste in the marine environment than in the land more slowly, but also may cause additional impact. Because these plastic containers will release toxic substances, does not belong to the normal circulation of nutrients in the ocean.
In order to arouse people's attention to the above issues, the green peace organization will launch a two week campaign, when a group of volunteers will be organized around the country in the organization of promotional activities in Spain. The event will also call for social networking sites users to participate in activities, and actively provide evidence that the existence of plastic waste in the living environment of the evidence and photos.
In addition, Greenpeace also called on relevant countries to take measures to resolve the phenomenon of improper handling and disposal of plastic waste in the marine and terrestrial environments. The organization's recommendations for national governments include: reducing discarded plastic containers, and through the establishment of a recycling system to ensure its proper recycling; prohibit the use of micro plastic 5 mm in diameter.
The organization also suggested that consumers preferred to use containers made of recycled materials, cloth bags and baskets instead of plastic bags to ensure that their own use of cosmetics do not contain micro plastic, and as far as possible to avoid excessive packaging.
