Dans l'histoire de la plan猫te, il y a eu l'芒ge de pierre, suivi de l'芒ge du bronze et de l'芒ge du fer. Nous sommes maintenant 脿 l'猫re du plastique. Car on le retrouve partout. Partout. PARTOUT! Autant, le plastique est merveilleux, car il est l茅ger, souple, r茅sistant, autant il est une menace pour la plan猫te et nos oc茅ans, ainsi que pour toutes les cr茅atures qui y vivent. Pollution plastique est un documentaire complet, fouill茅 et des plus pertinents qui fait r茅fl茅chir sur notre d茅pendance au plastique et sur son impact environnemental. Il donne aussi des pistes pour r茅duire notre consommation et d茅velopper des comportements responsables.
