Do YOU want to live on Planet Plastic?

Debris - mostly plastic - on Kuta beach, one of the best-known tourist destinations on Bali Island, Indonesia. The tide might cover up the plastic but 450 years later, it will still be there because thats how long it takes for the average plastic bottle to biodegrade. Photo: Filepic

We live in an era of information. We turn on the news and see what’s happening across the globe, social media has connected us so that the things that happen to our friends far away can feel like it’s happening right next to us....

The problem with having access to all this information is that it can have trouble sinking in. We’re so inundated with info that, sometimes, it doesn’t affect us.
