Ocean plastic pollution to quadruple by 2050, pushing more areas to exceed ecologically dangerous threshold of microplastic concentration
· Current projected growth in plastic pollution will cause significant ecological risks, with certain pollution hotspots like the Mediterranean, the East China and Yellow Seas, and the Arctic sea ice already exceeding ecologically dangerous threshold of microplastic concentrations. · Negative impacts from plastic pollution are already detectable in most species groups while the productivity of several of the world’s most important marine ecosystems, like coral reefs and mangroves, are under significant risk. · WWF calls on nations to adopt a legally binding global treaty against plastic
The third episode of the "Solving Water Loss for Life" webcast series from GF Piping Systems is now available to stream on-demand.Water loss is undoubtedly the biggest challenge faced by many utilities around the world. In the past, the renovation of old piping networks to combat these losses was a complex undertaking: Large trenches and a multitude of welded metal pipe connections led to disruptions and long build times. However, piping technology has improved drastically over the past decades. Therefore, episode three of the “Solving Water Loss for Life” webcast series, presented by GF
