Plastics are polluting our water systems >>>> Environmental Audit Committee: "Tell us your views on the environmental impact of microplastics"

We've got a problem with plastic:
Futures Forum: Plastic bags: You can't throw something away, because there is no 'away'

We've come up with 'solutions':
Futures Forum: The alternatives to plastic
Futures Forum: The End of Plastic
Futures Forum: The plastics industry is "incredibly supportive of recycling legislation over a more long-term… reduction of disposable culture."

But the biggest problem with no solution in sight is the pollution of our oceans:
Futures Forum: Saving the oceans from plastic pollution

It's an international issue:
