#TheExtraCatch
A recent study found that the U.S. is the No. 1 generator ofΒ #plastic#pollutionΒ in the world and as high as the No. 3 generator ofΒ #ocean plastic waste. #grabtheextracatch
Our #oceans are filled with #plastic. We rely on healthy oceans to survive. Be a part of the #movement. Reduce your plastic usage and #grabtheextracatch! ππβ»οΈ
Did you know that over 400 BILLION #plastic#bottles are used in a year worldwide? π³ Only 9% of these are #recycled. It can take up to 1,000 years for these to break down but the #microplastics never disappear. Bring your #reusable bottle everywhere! ππβ»οΈ
Why is it important to protect our #oceans? Did you know that HALF of the #oxygen we breathe comes from phytoplankton living in our oceans? πππ It's not just a #passion, it's necessary for life! #grabtheextracatch
"It is a curious situation that the sea, from which life first arose, should now be threatened by the activities of one form of that life. But the sea, though changed in a sinister way, will continue to exist: the threat is rather to life itself."
- Rachel Carson πππ
