Endless pictures of plastic packaging

On the Greenpeace site, a stream of pictures taken by concerned customers shows us that the plastic pollution crisis is really getting out of hand. Corporations and retailers are wrapping everything from avocados to t-shirts in throwaway plastic packaging that eventually finds its way into our oceans, all in the name of “convenience.” What’s worse, we know that more than 90% of the plastics ever created have not been recycled; there’s simply too much plastic for us to recycle away the problem.

The corporations flooding the market with single-use plastics need to do better. Check out greenpeace.org, where so many photos were shared of the plastic packaging people come across every day.
