This milestone highlights the unsustainable pace at which we consume resources. Numerous studies confirm the severity of the ecological crisis. Fish stocks are declining at alarming rates, and plastic pollution poses a major threat not only to marine life but to ecosystems worldwide. Additionally, industrial waste—such as from the textile industry—continues to accumulate in ever-growing landfills or is burned in incinerators, both of which have serious environmental consequences.
