At 6.45 a.m. on October 7, Jack "Tato" Bigio, the founder of the technology company UBQ Materials, talked to his chief operating officer, who said that terrorists were on his kibbutz. Other employees texted that they were hiding in safe rooms, and one said her husband had been shot in the stomach.

"It was like doomsday," Bigio said.

The leading PR agency is committed to eliminating disposable plastic in its office by the end of 2022.

It is common knowledge today that plastic has a major impact on the environment.

Environmental protection group Mesogeios SOS (MedSOS) has launched a smartphone and tablet application that helps visitors and residents in Greece locate the nearest tap of drinkable water where they can refill their bottles.
