Awareness Campaign: Public Service Announcement on the Environmental Harm of Microplastics

Every year, North Cyprus Turkcell conveys important messages on World Environment Day. This year, the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, Youth and Environment's Environmental Protection Department prepared a public service announcement for World Environment Day on June 5th. The public service announcement, themed around "plastic," highlights the increasing importance of raising social awareness about environmental concerns. It emphasizes the message of preserving a livable, healthy, green, and clean world for future generations. The announcement conveys the idea that waste in the seas, taken as food by marine creatures, can make its way into human consumption via the food chain. It also mentions the transformation of microplastics in the soil into toxic chemicals, which can spread from vegetation to water sources, posing a threat to natural life and human health. The announcement underlines that all of these factors are threats to human life. It suggests reducing plastic and bag usage and replacing them with recyclable or biodegradable alternatives.
