World Environment Day 2025: Ending Plastic Pollution

World Environment Day brings global attention to the most pressing environmental challenges facing our planet, this year the focus is on plastic pollution. With millions of tonnes of plastic waste impacting our environment, the #BeatPlasticPollution campaign encourages individuals and organisations to refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink their use of plastics.
