North Island’s new goal: A pure, plastic-free private island
North Island, Seychelles has banned plastic straws from this exclusive private-island destination, known for its pristine natural environment and progressive conservation initiatives. In taking its first steps towards becoming a completely plastic-free island, North Island hopes to accelerate positive change around the world by providing a leading example of sustainable tourism.“It’s a scary thought that every piece of plastic ever produced still exists in some form or another,” North Island’s Conservation Manager, Tarryn Retief said. “Billions of plastic straws are created every day, only to be used for mere minutes before being thrown away, potentially polluting our oceans forever and harming precious marine life,” continued CJ Havemann, the Island’s Environment Manager....
