The United Nations Environment Program’s (UNEP) annual global event, World Environment Day, focuses this year on a single goal: #BeatPlasticPollution. Like all other World Environment Day celebrations before, stakeholders from across the globe, from major corporations to governments to private citizens, have come together to implement steps to contribute to environmental protection. Coinciding with this year’s theme, the UNEP also released a report titled “Turning off the Tap: How the world can end plastic pollution and create a circular economy” to guide stakeholders on embracing a plastic-free, sustainable lifestyle.
