In a speech Sunday night, British Prime Minister Theresa May announced her government would earmark £61.4 million towards cleaning the world’s oceans of plastics, Resource reported Monday.
The announcement came the night before the start of the 2018 Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting from April 16 to 20. May hoped to encourage other Commonwealth countries to join the Commonwealth Clean Oceans Alliance (CCOA) through which the funds will be directed.
May also hopes to encourage the 52 countries in the Commonwealth to join the UK in banning microbeads and restricting plastic bag use.
