Forty companies in the UK have pledged to reduce plastic waste over the next seven years.
If the current trend of pollution continues, scientists predict that by the year 2050 there could be more plastic in our oceans than fish.
That is an extraordinary prediction.
Now, more than 40 large companies in the UK have signed an agreement.
The aim: to eliminate single-use plastic or packaging that cannot be reused.
The goal: to do it in the next seven years.
The move is a first, and the decision is expected to be followed by companies in other countries.
Now, 1m plastic bottles are purchased every minute in the United States alone.
