Will there be more plastic than fish in our oceans by 2050? (cartoon #8)<\/h4>\n

This cartoon is inspired by a report<\/a> published in 2016 at the World Economic Forum and showing that,\u00a0in a business-as-usual scenario, the ocean is expected to contain one tonne of plastic for every three tonnes of fish by 2025, and by 2050, more plastics than fish<\/a>. It is up to us to change this trend!<\/p>\n

At the G7, on June 9, 2018,\u00a0a non-binding agreement<\/a> was signed by 5 of 7 leaders to reduce plastic waste in oceans. U.S.A. and Japan declined to sign.<\/p>\n
