[Correspondence] Expanding safe waste management to public health systems

Media focus on plastic waste, urban air pollution, and the way it affects our environment, health, and communities has been increasing. Environmental pollution has been recognised as a growing public health problem for many years, but the size of the problem and the urgency of a solution have risen only recently to a higher level of public consciousness. Although the media are effective mobilisers for these issues, they do not articulate who is responsible for leading or assisting solutions. This may be because we are all individually, communally and globally responsible.
