When you walk along the streets of major cities in Nigeria,you will understand why these "pure water" manufacturers must stop single-use-plastic sachets. The disgusting state of our streets and neighborhoods is a good example to ban these "pure water" sachets. Tonnes of sachet plastics end up in our streets, waterways, parks all over the country which lead to extremely unhealthy and unhygienic environment for conducive healthy living. This has turned most neighborhoods in our major cities like refuge dumps. Furthermore these plastic sachets end up as litter and pollution all over the country which eventually finds its way in the ocean, this too is dangerous for Marine creatures.

Les aires protégées de la RD Congo restent primordiales pour les populations riveraines, dans la mesure où celles-ci en tirent de nombreuses ressources pour leur substance (plantes médicinales, pêche de substance, bois, miel etc.) et offrent des opportunités économiques. Les menaces et pressions sur les ressources naturelles dans les aires protégées sont un danger non seulement pour l'homme congolais mais aussi pour l'humanité entière et la pérennité de la vie sur terre. La Salonga abrite jusqu'à 40% de la population mondiale de bonobos, tandis que les Virunga constituent un habitat vital pour de nombreuses espèces protégées, notamment les hippopotames, les éléphants et certains des derniers gorilles de montagne du monde. La pollution due aux activités pétrolières mettrait en péril la biodiversité du Parc et compromettrait l'intégrité de sa valeur universelle exceptionnelle. Cette pollution peut provoquer la contamination du lac Édouard qui sert de ressource primaire pour l'alimentation des populations autour et à l'intérieur des Virunga, notamment les pêcheurs, ceux qui vendent les poissons, ceux qui en consomment, donc des millions de personnes verront leurs vulnérabilité et pauvreté s’aggraver par la destruction du lac Edouard. C'est dans le souci de prévenir ces genres de catastrophes que la Constitution de la RD Congo, en son article 53 stipule que: « Toute personne a droit à un environnement sain et propice à son épanouissement intégral. Elle a le devoir de le défendre. L'Etat veille à la protection de l'environnement et à la santé de la population ».

We try to recycle and reuse the unnecessary amount of plastic packaging that comes standard with our food but the truth is that Single-use plastics are filling up our oceans and killing marine life around the globe. Plastic is the most common element that is found in the ocean. It is harmful for the environment as it does not get break down easily and is often considered as food by marine animals. One hundred thousand sea mammals are killed in the ocean by pollution each year. There is an island of garbage twice the size of Texas inside the Pacific Ocean: the North Pacific Gyre off the coast of California is the largest oceanic garbage site in the entire world. There, the number of floating plastic pieces outnumbers total marine life six to one in the immediate vicinity. Plastic debris can absorb toxic chemicals from ocean pollution, therefore poisoning whatever eats it. In fact, plastic pollution is one of the most serious threats to the ocean. Plastic does not degrade; instead, it breaks down into progressively smaller pieces, but never disappears. They then attract more debris. It poses a significant health threat to the various sea creatures, and to the entire marine ecosystem. Overall, plastic is the number one source of pollution in the ocean. Plastic is not only harmful to the marine life but it has been found in our drinking water as well as salt. Plastic is making its way into the food we eat and when plastic is heated it releases120 different cancer causing chemicals. We have been blessed with this beautiful earth and it is the responsibility of each and every one of us to do our part in preserving and protecting our earth and each other.
