Interesting anecdotes and stats for BANGING:

The focus for this year's World Environment Day on Tuesday is on how to tackle plastic pollution.

People in Singapore use an estimated 2.2 million straws per day. If laid end-to-end, Singapore's daily plastic straw consumption would cover the coastline of Singapore more than twice over.
