想定質問

Is recycling enough to solve the problem of plastic waste?

回答

No. The amount of plastic we use continues to increase, and the total weight of plastic on Earth already exceeds that of all land and sea animals combined. So, it is urgent that we move away from a throwaway culture and shift towards a circular economy. To achieve this, we should raise awareness of the importance of recycling and upcycling, though the first and most fundamental step is to reconsider how we use plastic and make small changes in our everyday lives.
