Regarding the current state of plastic waste pollution, the exhibition highlights the large-scale increase in plastic waste worldwide , causing serious consequences for the environment and social life. Vietnam is currently among the 20 countries with the largest amount of plastic waste, with about 1.8 million tons per year, higher than the world average.

The section on the origin and causes of pollution clearly explains that the pollution problem does not come from the plastic products themselves but mainly from the habit of using and improperly disposing of plastic waste.

The consequences of plastic waste emphasize the difficult-to-decompose nature of this type of waste, which can last for hundreds to thousands of years in the environment. Plastic waste changes the physical properties of the soil, causing erosion, hindering plant growth and negatively affecting the ecosystem of animals and plants.

In the content of solutions to reduce plastic waste pollution, the exhibition calls on each citizen to raise their sense of responsibility, change their consumption habits, say no to disposable plastic products and nylon bags; switch to using environmentally friendly items; actively participate in communication activities, and spread a green lifestyle.

Part of organizations and individuals actively working in preventing and combating plastic waste pollution - introducing typical examples in Vietnam and around the world that have effective initiatives, action plans, and propaganda to join hands in reducing plastic waste.

Dr. Le Trung Kien, Vice Principal of Kien Giang College, said that the collection of 100 propaganda photos on plastic waste prevention and control is a profound message to the community about the responsibility to protect the environment.
