Our Earth is facing a pollution crisis.

Land pollution, caused by fertilizers and pesticides, contaminates soil and groundwater.

Air pollution, caused by emissions from vehicles and factories, can cause respiratory problems, heart disease, and cancer.

Water pollution, caused by wastewater discharge from factories, can contaminate drinking water.

Plastic pollution is a particularly serious problem. Plastic waste can take hundreds of years to degrade, and it often ends up in our oceans, harming marine life and polluting the food chain.

To reduce pollution, reduce, reuse, and recycle, choose sustainable products, reduce your carbon footprint, and support businesses committed to sustainability.

Together, we can create a cleaner, healthier planet for future generations.

====================================

UN-Habitat, in partnership with AES Myanmar – Creative Media Institute and Prevent Plastics Myanmar, organized the Beating Plastic Pollution Short Film Competition. The purpose is to raise awareness about plastic issues, impacts, and solutions and to change community behaviors on plastic use and waste management.

This video is one of the contestant videos that was created based on the story and messages about how plastic issues, impacts, and solutions are addressed.

Let’s work together to beat plastic pollution!
