Abstract

In this week’s #EngShort we look at the use of #plastic in our society and whether we use it too much. We've all heard about the damaging effects of plastic on the #planet, but what is actually being done to tackle this problem? #Climatechange is the most significant challenge we have ever faced. Engineers are doing their part to save our planet, but we need everyone to get involved! What do you do to #reduce your #plasticuse?
