SCCN Single-Use Plastic Free Campus Guidelines
Plastics are clearly the manifestation of human intervention in our planetary system, leading to catastrophe. United Nations Environment report in 2018 stated that there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050, if we don’t change. It’s time that we stop plastic entering into the veins of our planet.
From Australia to Argentina and from Norway to New Zealand, the adverse impacts of plastics are omni-present. The images of marine life strangulated by plastic fibres and mammals like cows spilling out plastic bags from their guts clearly indicate that ‘ we are on the edge of cliff ’ in addressing plastic-challenge. The fact that micro-plastic particles have already entered in to our body gives us shivers. We even do not know what they would do to our blood, brain and brawn. There is no better place than University campus to stream such wider actions. The students there are consumers of today and policy makers of future and agents for the change. If they are mobilised, we can transform the world from cliff-hanger to summit-climber.
