Planet or Plastic?
This is the name of the multi-year initiative of National Geographic. It draws attention to the global plastic problem and at the same time wants to reduce the share of disposable plastic entering the oceans. National Geographic celebrates World Environment Day and World Oceans Day with a full week of activities that highlight the need to reduce plastic pollution and improve the health of the ocean.
