Towards a plastic free environment
Contaminated Progress
curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne
The private and industrial use of plastic is contaminating meanwhile the living environment on Earth so profoundly, that microplastic can be proven in nearly all living resources for animals, plants and not to forget the human individual. It is no question of an idiological view any more, but a survival necessity to ban plastic in any form from the cycle of life. Who will win the race? Ecology or economy?

Memorial, and can now reviewed online in full length below–>
