July 3, International Plastic Bag Free Day 2019
Reflection day about the excess of plastic consumption, pollution and environment.
The International Plastic Bag Free Day is celebrated on July 3, a day that Elba Hotels supports in order to promote social awareness and environment care. The prohibition of single use plastics agreed by the European Union for 2021 is claimed as one of the solutions needed to reduce pollution.
According to data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food and Environment, it is estimated that each Spaniard consumes an average of 238 plastic bags per year and only 10% of these are recycled. The over consumption of this material has a clear impact on our seas and oceans.
Therefore, if we want to contribute to the preservation of our seas and the life they contain, we must do everything possible in our daily routines to reduce the use of plastics whose waste ends up in the ocean. We tell you how.
