1
00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.000
Humanity has already produced
over 9 billion tonnes of plastic.

2
00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:05.560
Trend rising.

3
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:11.320
By 2050, we will have produced
34 billion tonnes of plastic.

4
00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:15.720
Only 9% of the plastic produced
to date has been recycled.

5
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:18.600
A large proportion ends up
in our natural environment.

6
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:21.440
Rivers wash waste into our seas.

7
00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:27.200
By 2050, the amount of plastic in
the oceans will exceed that of fish.

8
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:32.320
Macroplastics become microplastics,
which in turn become nanoplastics.

9
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:36.800
The tiny particles are scattered to
the furthest corners of our planet.

10
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.760
Microplastics can also be found
in many places in our bodies.

11
00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:44.680
The risks to animal and
human health are enormous.

12
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:50.240
That is why we are committed to
plastic-free nature and living waters.

13
00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:55.160
We organise clean-ups, raise public
awareness in large-scale campaigns,

14
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.000
and bring people
into nature conservation and

15
00:00:58.080 --> 00:00:59.600
research projects.

16
00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:04.680
In order to achieve lasting behavioural
change, we promote interactive

17
00:01:05.240 --> 00:01:09.360
Educational programmes in schools,
projects, cities and companies.

18
00:01:11.080 --> 00:01:14.240
We need your support for our commitment.
