Plastic Crisis Hits Critical Point | San Jose News
Description
A new study reveals we’re dumping millions of tons more plastic waste annually than previously thought—with single-use items being the biggest culprits. If current trends continue, by 2050, there could be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Researchers tracked global plastic flows, including invisible microplastics infiltrating food and air, turning this into a major public health and ecological crisis. Solutions like better recycling and new materials are being explored, but experts warn massive innovation and systemic change from governments, industries, and individuals are urgently needed to reverse course before it’s too late.
