Hello Everyone Hope everyone is doing well. I havean¡¯t been able to connect with you all since past few weeks because I had my board exams. As the exam is over, I am back with the next part of the Eco Fact Series. As per the suggestion of the mentor, I have also adding pictures from Eco Fact 4. I am really looking forward from suggestions and support from you all. EcoFact3 "Almost half of all seabird species, 22% of cetaceans, all sea turtle species and a growing list of fish species have been documented with plastic found in or around their bodies." #BeatPlasticPollution In 1950 the world produced only 2 million tonnes per year. By 2015, annual production had increased nearly 200-fold, reaching 381 million tonnes. For context, this is roughly equivalent to the mass of two-thirds of the world population.1 Over the period from 1950 to 2015, cumulative production reached 7.8 billion tonnes of plastic — more than one tonne of plastic for every person alive today. Packaging is the dominant sectoral use of plastics globally accounting for 42 percent. Since packaging tends to have a much lower product lifetime than other products, it is also dominant in terms of annual waste generation. It is responsible for almost half of global plastic waste. (R. Geyer, 2017) It¡¯s the responsibility of every one of us to fight to beat plastic pollution. We must refuse if we can¡¯t reuse it. Together we can beat plastic pollution. Lets be responsible for the wastes we produce and manage them in the best way possible. #TogetherWeCan EcoFact4 Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants is an international environmental treaty, signed in 2001 and effective from May 2004, that aims to eliminate or restrict the production and use of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). #PersistentOrganicPollutants POPs are organic compounds that are resistant to environmental degradation through chemical, biological and photolytic processes. Because of their persistence, POPs bioaccumulation with potential significant impacts on human health and the environment. The effect of POPs on human and environmental health was discussed, with intention to eliminate or severely restrict their production, by the international community at the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2001. Stay connected to Gallery Section of the website and Facebook page of Tunza EcoNetwork Nepal for the new EcoFact of the series. Green Cheers from Nepal |

Hello Kushal!
I've been waiting for Eco Face Series! It's informative and full of interesting facts.
I've seen some photos of ocean animals surrounded by plastics, and I thought that was one of the special cases. I didn't know there were that much portion of sea animals suffering from plastic pollutants.
Hope to see the next Series!
Thank you for the great report!

Hello Kushal dai,
I hope you are fine and doing well.
Welcome back to tunza after yours board exam.
Plastic wrapping is the major sectoral use of plastic.Its time to find a new alternative of plastic wrapping.
The dirty dozens(POPS) which remains persistant in the environment must be completely put an end.
Great report,
Keep writing and shining.
Want to hear more from you.
warm regards,
Meena Pandey
