Galapagos plastic ban
The Galapagos Islands are taking steps to preserve its beauty by banning single-use plastics this summer.
Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing issues facing marine wildlife around the world. Whilst the Galapagos Archipielago remains one of the most pristine ecosystems in the world, sadly it is not exempt from the issue.
- Plastic straws: Plastic straws are no longer allowed in the Galapagos.
- Plastic bags: Single-use plastic bags will be banned.
- Polythene takeout containers: On July 21, 2018, polythene takeout containers will no longer be used.
