To Raise Awareness About Pollution In Oceans, Young Nepalis Create ‘Dead Sea’ Of Plastic Bags

Oceans and marine life across the globe are under a major threat due to increasing plastic pollution. In a bid to raise awareness of growing plastic pollution, young Nepalis created a map of the Dead Sea with used plastic bags.

Volunteers tied 100,000 colourful used plastic bags on a metal grid 20 metres (65 feet) long and five metres (16 feet) tall, shaped like the Dead Sea, on open ground in Kathmandu’s city centre.

The record attempt was organised with a slogan “One Dead Sea is enough for us”.
