It takes 500-1000yrs for plastic to degrade.Billions of pounds of plastic can be found swirling convergences in the oceans making up abt 40% of worlds ocean surfaces.46% of plastics float & it can drift for yrs before eventually concentrating in ocean gyres. #plasticpollution

As plastic is less expensive, it is overused.When it is disposed off in landfill sites, it does not decompose at a fast rate & hence pollutes the land or soil in that area.Every Year abt 100 million tons of plastic are produced all over the world.

Worldwide, nearly 2 million single-use plastic bags are distributed every minute.Plastics do not biodegrade, but instead break down into small particles that persist in the ocean,absorbs toxins & enters our food chain through fish, seabirds & other marine life.

By 2025, for every three tons of finfish swimming in the ocean, there could be one ton of plastic in marine waters.Projections indicate that by 2050, the ratio of the fish to plastics could be 1:1. Plastics comprise up to 90% of floating marine debris!

If you’re in the restaurant/bar business, please consider changing to paper straws.

Plastic straws are not recyclable and eventually end up polluting our oceans.

If you already use paper straws, tweet me a picture and I’ll be more than happy to RT for your restaurant/bar. 💚

Worldwide,82 to 144 examined bird species contained plastic debris in their stomachs & in some cases, 80% of the population had consumed plastic. Researchers found that 66% of Giant petrel shorebirds regurgitated plastic when feeding their chicks.

50 to 80% of dead Sea turtles have ingested plastic. Plastic bags which resemble jellyfish are most commonly found item in sea turtles stomachs. Recent studies estimate that fish off the West Coast ingest over 12,000 tons of plastic a year.

Plastics comprise up to 90% of floating marine debris. Atleast 5.25 trillion plastic particles weighing 2,68,940 tons are currently floating at sea. Over 50% of plastic entering the oceans from just five developing countries where there is lack of waste management capacity.

[Onelesspieceofplastic @olppindia]

A report in Science Magazine estimates that 8.3bn tonnes of plastic has been produced to date. Of this 6.3bn tonnes of plastic is now waste-a majority of which some 79% is in landfill or the natural environment.
