Implementing Change

Sir Richard Branson was deeply influenced by the gruesome visuals he witnessed at the bottom of the Blue Hole. He decided to take immediate actions and he began by bringing a change in his own enterprises. Branson’s “Virgin Airlines” had pledged to stop using any sort of single-use plastic and its related goods on their flights. Branson stated, “I’m looking with grave concern toward the future, noting that my grandchildren will be in their thirties in 2050, and I can’t bear imagining them in a future without coral and other wonders the ocean contains.” Moreover, Belize too has pledged to cease single-use plastic beginning from 2019. But Branson was not going to limit himself to just Belize as he was willing to do all in his power to save the environment.
