The English-speaking world's growing concern for the environment and the ubiquity of disposable items that are used only once has pushed the word "single-use" to the top of Collins Dictionary's list of "Word of the Year."
Collins says there's been a fourfold increase in the usage of the word since 2013, in part thanks to news coverage of environmental issues.
