In
the BBVA magazine of January 2020 there is an article entitled Top
Ten, which lists 10 measures we can all apply to curb climate
change, the first of which is this:
Committed waste
treatment: ...in the next 30 years, 12 million tons of plastic waste will
accumulate in the environment. When you go shopping, take a folded cloth bag...
It
is true that, with our excessive use of plastics, we are turning the world into
a dump, even the oceans. It is true that we must do something to avoid this.
But since when contamination with plastics is a cause of climate
change? We should learn to make distinctions, and correctly
apply names to those phenomena we must face.
