The United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) has, not for the first time, issued a discomfiting warning that the unchecked irresponsible disposal of plastics in oceans and other bodies of water will inevitably come back to haunt the global environment, making life on the planet increasingly unbearable for its human inhabitants.
 UNEP’s most recent warning about what it describes as the continued sharp growth in the irresponsible disposal of plastics, comes with a prediction that the prevailing practice could see the volume of plastics dumped in this manner double in less than a decade.
