Solution to Plastic Pollution
- 2. Some 18 billion pounds of plastic waste flows into the oceans every year from coastal regions. About 8 percent of the worlds oil production is used to make plastic and power the manufacturing of it. That figure is projected to rise to 20 percent by 2050. Thats the equivalent of five grocery bags of plastic trash sitting on every foot of coastline around the world. 40 percent of plastic produced is packaging, used just once and then discarded

- 4. Eco-bricks, bottle stuffed with non- biological wastes to make furniture, garden spaces, and full scale buildings
- 5. Costs nothing to help minimize effects of pollution and help communities to build schools and infrastructure.

- 8. Can save councils up to 贈35 million year due to reduced littering and landfill charges as well as lower recycling costs
- 9. Hawaiis natural wonders, beautiful beaches, and sea life are being threatened as trash increases in the islands. Individual involvement by simply using creativity in reusing the plastic wastes like eco-bricks will help reduce the waste in the ocean. Government can be able to make and implement laws just like using paper bags instead of plastic bags in groceries. These simple changes can make an impact in the lives of those on the islandsM and in the seas.
