We must end plastic production as 5,000,000lbs of PLASTIC enter our oceans every 3.5 hours. Our Marine life is paying the price of our actions. We can only recover 5% of the plastic in our oceans. #plastic #plasticpollution #plasticfree #oceanplastic #ocean

1.5 million pounds of plastic enter our oceans EVERY HOUR. #4ocean has collected 6.2 million pounds in the past 2 YEARS! Are they really solving the problem? Or are they just profiting?

Scientists from the University of Exeter determined that microplastics can enter crabs’ bodies through their gills and ingestion. This is also the case for other marine creatures which increases the chance of the microplastics passing up the food chain to humans.

Plastic pollution also affects marine bacteria. Tests showed that “exposure to chemicals leaching from plastic pollution interfered with the growth, photosynthesis and oxygen production. These photosynthetic bacteria are critical as they produce 10% of the oxygen we breathe.

Researchers pulled nearly 90 pounds of plastic waste out of the stomach of a young cuvier beaked whale that died in the Davao Gulf of the Philippines.

@myranda_baker5 Hopefully metal straws are kept like forks and other utensils and not thrown away like it is a fad.

At least 8 million tons of plastic enter the oceans each year. That’s similar to emptying a garbage truck of plastic into an ocean every minute. #BeatThePlastic

Plastic contains toxic chemicals, which can increase the chance of disease and affect reproduction. After ingesting microplastics, seals, and other animals can suffer for months or even years before they die.#BeatThePlastic .
