Rotary with EndPlasticSoup: Rotary’s commitment to protecting the environment from plastic pollution
We will update Rotarians about EndPlasticSoup to Create Hope in the World: Education, Equity & Environment.
The latest facts, solutions, Global Grants and our Rotary actions worldwide.
The plastic pollution of our planet - soil, air and water - is a great threat to human health, our climate and biodiversity. The microplastics and the decomposition of plastic waste impact CO2 absorption by the oceans, and the soil because of impact on plankton and fungi. Avoiding plastic waste through action, awareness, education, Global Grant projects and collaboration by Rotary and Rotaract clubs and districts worldwide will make a significant contribution to solving the problem.
