A garbage truck's worth of plastic ends up in our oceans EVERY MINUTE. Sea turtles and other marine life often mistake plastic for food and suffocate on plastic debris. Use your voice to tell U.S. Congress it's time to #BreakFreeFromPlastic today: https://t.co/bZ9XaKh9xY
Plastic material properties diversity is part of what makes its crisis so complex. For example, plastic packaging can be viewed as a marine pollution problem;how did this get into the ocean?), or a toxicity concern;could this food packaging affect my health? #RethinkPlastics
The global consumption of plastic bottles in 2016 is estimated to have been 500 billion or 1 million each minute. This is expected to increase with 20% by 2021. Globally, less than half of them are collected for recycling, and only 7% are turned into new bottles. #RethinkPlastics
