Plastic kills
How many marine mammals and birds have died in our oceans because of plastic? When the plastic from our landfills and from shipping lines carrying plastic components get into our ocean, animals and birds mistake it for food and ingest it… and die from it. There is no place on Earth that plastic hasn’t reached. To envision the magnitude of our water pollution from plastic, you need to see the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It’s totally unbelievable! An ocean gyre in the middle of has trapped garbage composed mostly of plastic and it’s now as big Europe, India and Mexico. It’s a floating huge garbage island! Fish and shellfish get contaminated and we eat them. Large marine mammals die, disrupting our marine ecosystem. Every living thing in our ocean is affected. You enjoy seafood don’t you? We all do. That’s why it’s a great concern.
