No more plastic waste in the oceans and help clean it all up
Fast track the ban on all single use plastics, bottle return systems, put in place legislation to act on the plastic waste we in the uk have created which is put into landfill and in particular the oceans. Ban all types of plastic packaging in supermarkets, and exploited by the food manufacturers by the end of 2018! I understand it takes some time but by 2025 is way too late for the environment and the oceans ecosystems. they will be dead by that time!
Why is this important?
The plastic in the ocean is set to double in the next 5 years! It's now already too much. It's now or never. The tipping point for plastic has been long over run now. Please watch this bbc documentary that was aired this week. Its a ticking time bomb that is fast running out. The dolphins and the fish and whales can't do it, so we have to!

Plastic is in the arctic, plankton at the bottom of the ocean, and has been found to transmit diseases to coral (only discovered a year ago) and potentially humans and all mammalian life.
