Poor plastic disposal has always been one of the core issues environmentalists struggle with as they do not only clog drainages but become a threat to aquatic life.
According to Face2Face, plastic wastes disturbingly rose in the early 2000s than they were in the past 40 years, as 300 million tons of plastic wastes are said to be generated annually.
Some of the rivers that those wastes reportedly come from are Yangtze, Indus, Pearl, Mekong, Nile, Niger, among several others.
