El Programa de Naciones para el Medio Ambiente (Pnuma) lanzó hoy una campaña mundial para eliminar en 2022 las principales fuentes de basura en los océanos, entre las que predomina el plástico. Bajo el lema "#MaresLimpios, ¡Cambia la marea del plástico!", la ONU pidió a los Gobiernos que lleven a cabo políticas para la reducción del plásticos, y apeló a los consumidores a que abandonen el hábito de usar y tirar productos plásticos "antes de que perjudique irreversiblemente a nuestros océanos". http://www.selassienetworks.com/2017/02/mareslimpios.html
