Permaculture emphasizes the idea that a plantation should offer multiple benefits right from food and fodder to timber and fertilizer.
The concept of Permaculture was first of all propagated in the 1970s by Australian biologist Bill Mollison and thereafter it gained acceptance in India after several enthusiasts who were influenced by Mollison during his visit to the country in 1987.
Permaculture spreaded to 140 countries by 2016 and today more than 3 million people across the globe practise permaculture and claim that the novel farming system is the only way to make agriculture sustainable in the face of extreme weather events like recurrent droughts and unprecedented floods.
Permaculture can help achieve more with less resource, build resilience among small farmers, improve soil health and encourage people to grow their own food.
The profit potential under permaculture is giving farmers good dividends.
This technique also uses mulching, mixed cropping patterns and crop rotations to maintain the soil nutrients.
Some of the essential benefits of Permaculture include Nutrient Dense Food, Cut Costs, Bird and Bee Habitat, Low Maintenance ,No Waste and Reduced Watering.

The phytoplanktons (microscopic plant-like organisms) ingest micro plastics wastes.

Indonesia committed to reduce 70 per cent of its plastic debris by 2025.
Germany provided money for mangrove protection, whereas China committed to comprehensively control marine environmental pollution, gradually improve water quality in offshore areas and eliminate illegal sewage outlets.
In 2019 the Coca-Cola Co has emerged as the number 1 global plastic polluter for the second consecutive year according to a report on the top 10 plastic polluting companies in the world. The beverages brand was followed by Nestlé SA and PepsiCo In.
