With the increasing use of single-use plastics, plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues. Malaysia ranks eighth among countries with poor plastic waste management. Every year, Malaysians throw more than 30,000 tonnes of plastic waste into the ocean. Whereas, in water, it can take up to 400 years for plastic to decompose completely. To this end, the public welfare short film "Plastik" was launched, focusing on the plastic pollution crisis in Southeast Asia.
The film tells the story of a little girl who sees a future polluted by plastic through the lens of a plastic bottle "telescope". Food for people and animals, oceans and beaches, and other items that are normally normal in reality are eroded by plastic products. Blending imagination and reality, the short film raises environmental awareness through creative stories and thought-provoking scenes, reminding people that there is only one earth and rejecting white pollution. and spurring action to end plastic pollution in the region.
The 100 Families Support Program was recognized by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and developed by MeshMinds and produced by Studio Birthplace. It expands the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEA) by 52, at that time, 175 member states agreed to develop a legally binding agreement to end plastic pollution by the end of 2024.
