Every minute, the equivalent of a garbage truck’s worth of plastic enters the ocean, amounting to a staggering 8 million tons of plastic every year. And it isn’t slowing down – on the contrary.
Between now and 2050, FOUR TIMES MORE plastic will be produced than in all of human history, and much of it is destined to end up in the ocean.
This isn’t a problem confined to distant shores or developing countries.
Plastic pollution affects every coastline, every community, and every waterway that sustains life – including those closest to home.
Just imagine walking along your favorite beach, not on soft sand, but on a carpet of plastic waste – straws, bottles, and plastic bags that threaten marine life and the ocean ecosystem.
Plastic Pollution Destroys Our Beaches
Plastic Pollution Kills Helpless Marine Animals
Plastic Pollution Ends Up In Our Food & Water
The damage we’re inflicting is clear for all to see, yet the amount of plastic waste entering our ocean continues to increase at an alarming rate…
And with each day of inaction, the possibility of reversing this damage continues to fade.
