A seagull struggles to take flight covered by a plastic bag, on the seashore at Caleta Portales beach in Valparaiso, Chile on July 17, 2018. The international community has recently become far more sensitive to the environmental problems created in particular by single-use plastics. Chile has been one of the countries leading the way in Latin America against the use of plastic bags. In 2014 the government of Michelle Bachelet banned them in Chilean Patagonia and last year extended that to coastal areas, but now its days are numbered by law and a cultural change is needed.
