How much plastics is out there?

Slide Content:

The PowerPoint slide presents alarming statistics about plastic pollution. It states that an estimated 8.3 billion tonnes of virgin plastic have been produced, citing a 2017 paper by Dr. Roland Geyer from the University of California. This underscores the massive scale of plastic production. Additionally, it forecasts a daunting future where, by 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean, referencing data from BBC and Business Insider. This comparison between plastic and marine life illustrates the critical environmental issue of ocean pollution.

Graphical Look:

• The slide is divided into two sections.
• The left section has a light grey background and contains text.
• The right section features a stylized graphic of fish and water in darker blue and green tones.
• White text over the graphic on the right predicts future plastic pollution.
• The colors used are mainly shades of blue and green, with white text for contrast.
• The overall design is clean and modern, with a clear focus on environmental themes.

The slide has a modern and professional appearance with a clear environmental theme. The contrast between the textual information on the left and the illustrative graphic on the right effectively conveys the message of the slide.
