A new weather report was inaugurated this Thursday, May 25. But what is it? It’s very simple, given the increasingly present pollution on the globe, this new bulletin warns us of the plastic showers that will be present during the day. Entitled “plastic pollution”, this bulletin uses images of clouds of plastic, more or less ferocious, to describe the amount of pollution.
Launched last Thursday in Île-de-France, and more specifically in Paris, it told us, for example, that “the weather will be sunny in Paris, with despite everything a few plastic showers of up to 40 kilos in cumulative precipitation over the day. “.
While the Capital will host the second negotiation session on the elimination of plastic pollution from Monday May 29 to Saturday June 3, this first weather report of a new kind has surprised many.
Causing health damage that is sometimes little known to citizens, the forecasts described in these bulletins have informative but also preventive objectives. With the aim of warning the French and establishing greater collective ecological awareness, other departments may see the addition of “plastic pollution” forecasts to their weather forecast. Indeed, if this awareness-raising operation bears fruit, mainly by opening the debate and fighting against plastic pollution, other cities in France will have the possibility of following this bulletin.
