You may be asking why this topic is particularly relevant and what you can do to make a stand. In fact, plastic pollution is a big topic in the news especially because of the negative impact it has on the environment and also the lives of humans and animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/observances\/environment-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">United Nations<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, over 400 million tonnes of plastic is manufactured annually all over the globe. Half of this plastic is intended for single use only and less than 10% is recycled. Also, up to 23 million tonnes end up in lakes, rivers and seas every year. Single-use plastic negatively impacts human health and biodiversity. It also results in ecosystems being polluted.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WED_Image1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5694\" width=\"768\" height=\"362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WED_Image1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WED_Image1-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.glassesdirect.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/WED_Image1-768x362.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Discover our eco-friendly glasses range<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a wide collection of <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/\r\nwww.glassesdirect.co.uk\/eyeglasses\/eco-friendly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">eco-friendly eyewear<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.
