What can we do about plastic?

Plastic has been big news ever since the broadcast of the BBC’s Blue Planet 2 last year, when the shocking quantity of plastics in our oceans was laid bare. The United Nations has warned that marine life is facing “irreparable damage” from the millions of tonnes of plastic waste which ends up in the oceans each year.
