FIGHTING PLASTIC POLLUTION
It’s an alarming fact that if human beings continue to pollute at current levels, by 2050, our oceans will contain more plastic than fi sh by weight. Time for action! Apple has achieved its goal of operating entirely on renewable energy and Starbucks’ Nextgen Cup Challenge off ers US$10 million (about R120,5 million) to the person or group who can develop a compostable coff ee cup. There’s also a new pastime called “plogging” (a combination of “picking” and “jogging”) that’s taking off in Sweden. It encourages people to pick up litter while they’re out running. How will you make a diff erence in the fi ght to protect our planet?
SMALL IS THE NEW BIG Ditch your oversized sunnies and opt
for teensy-weensy ones! Spotted on the likes of Rihanna, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid, Matrix-inspired micro- sunglasses – which are usually oval, round or diamond-shaped – are set to be a leading trend this year.
