PLASTIC has been easily used by mankind in various fields. Invented in 1907 and once praised as a "gift of God," its reputation plummeted in just a few decades. Flowing from land into the ocean, it has accumulated to form the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), spanning 1.6 million square kilometers.
ADVOCATING A GREEN FUTURE The forum, which discussed the current state of global pollution, emphasizes the importance of ASEZ WAO's plastic waste prevention project, 'No More GPGP,' referring to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. PHOTO FROM ASEZ WAO
ASEZ WAO, an international volunteer organization, held an environmental forum on Jan. 15 and put up the slogan "STOP Plastic for a GREEN Future."
The panel discussion covered four key topics: the root causes of plastic pollution and potential solutions, marine plastic pollution, ending plastic pollution through global cooperation, and the voices of youth and future generations.
After the discussion, participants signed ASEZ WAO's joint declaration for ending plastic pollution, first announced at the Environmental Concert for Ending Plastic Pollution in South Korea.
On this day, ASEZ WAO also heightened environmental awareness by presenting the ASEZ WAO environmental song, themed around the "No More GPGP" project.
