In an era where global plastic pollution has reached alarming levels, it is
extremely heartening to see initiatives around the world take action, which aims
to combat the global plastic crisis head-on.
With a focus on raising awareness and implementing sustainable practices, ZPL is an example on how collective action can make a significant difference in preserving our planet.
This year, I took the opportunity to finally be a member in ZPL, taking roles in technology and research. Recent data surrounding plastic pollution has highlighted the need for urgent action, driving me to defend my belief that plastic pollution will someday be adverse for our civilization.
From entangled sea turtles and problems of bioaccumulation, to millions of metric tonnes of
single-use and disposable plastic entering our oceans each year, the wreckage and havoc experienced by our planet is devastating.
As a new member of the team, I hope that I can bring useful and constructive
contributions to a community of passionate and enthusiastic friends, who all
share the same goal – creating a better world for ourselves.
Let’s hope that small, individual efforts can collectively become a beacon of hope in the fight of plastic pollution. In Abraham Lincoln’s words, “The most reliable way to predict
the future is to create it.” Let us be the change we wish to see in the world.
