<h3 style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span class="fa fa-pencil-square" aria-hidden="true"></span> The impact of plastic pollution in the world</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Plastic pollution is a major issue globally, and its impact covers many aspects:</p>
<ol>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Impact on biodiversity:</strong> plastic waste has devastating consequence on life on earth and at sea. Animals can swallow plastic waste which can hurt them, animals can suffocate and even die. Plastic debris can also be vectors to transport invasive species.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ecosystem pollution:</strong> the presence of plastic in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems bothers natural cycles, modifies habitats and alters the quality of water and soil.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Impact on human health:</strong> plastic can release toxic chemical products when it decomposes, which in turn contaminates water and soil. Humans can also be exposed to toxic chemical products when they consume contaminated sea products or by using plastic products.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Economic consequences:</strong> plastic pollution has great economic repercussions, namely in terms of cleaning costs, losses in the sectors of tourism and fishing.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Climate change:</strong> the production, use and elimination of plastic contributes to greenhouse gas emissions which can worsen climate change.</li>
</ol>

<h3 style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span class="fa fa-pencil-square" aria-hidden="true"></span> The Stockholm Convention, called POPs Convention</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) is an international agreement aiming at eliminating or limiting the <strong>production</strong>, <strong>use</strong> and <strong>trade </strong>of persistent organic chemical substances that pose a <strong>significant risk to human health and to the environment</strong>. The convention was adopted in May 2001, and came into effect in May 2004.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="fa fa-hand-o-right" aria-hidden="true"></span> It aims at identifying the most dangerous persistent organic pollutants and to take measures to progressively eliminate them or reduce their use, promote the research and development around better alternatives so they can be replaced, and to encourage international cooperation to reduce transboundary POPs emissions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="fa fa-hand-o-right" aria-hidden="true"></span> The Stockholm Convention started by listing 12 POPs including chemical products such as certain organochlorine pesticides (such as DDT), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), dioxins and furane. The list was revised to include new POPs as scientific proof on the substances' danger emerged.</p>
