President Biden sends another 20 million vaccines to poorer countries
By end of June, USA will send 20 million vaccines to other countries. They will send a total of 80 million vaccines. That seems like a lot. In South America, there are 440 million people … they need more vaccines. In Kenya, they have only 1 million doses – they asked for 3.5 million. That will not be enough for 47 million people who live in Kenya.
Single-use plastic comes mostly from 20 companies
Some supermarkets try to avoid selling the meat and vegetables and fruit, with plastic covering. It is like cling film plastic. It covers the food and then you throw it in the waste bin. It includes plastic bottles and face masks. All single-use. It is very bad for the environment. Environment groups want to stop all single use plastic to protect our world. But countries are very slow to change. Now we know that more than half of this plastic is made by 20 companies – Exxon Mobile is the biggest producer. Eleven companies are in Asia, 3 in America, four in Europe. We are polluting our world when we use these plastics.
