Drastic plastic

By  March 21, 2019  No comments
A starving whale with 40 kilos (88 pounds) of plastic trash in its stomach has died after being washed ashore in the Philippines. Environmental activists have called it one of the worst cases of poisoning they have seen. They have also tagged the Philippines as one of the world’s biggest ocean polluters due to its reliance on single-use plastic. The animal died from starvation and was unable to eat because of the trash filling its stomach.The situation isn’t better in Pakistan which is also guilty of contribution to water pollution. All countries should come together and take a step to minimise water pollution.Shazim ShujrahShirkarpur
