#PlasticPollution is a problem we can fix ♻️

✅ 11M tonnes leak into aquatic ecosystems every year
✅ Only 9% of plastics are recycled

Solutions exist. A circular economy for plastics can reduce ocean pollution by 80%.

Together, we can #BeatPlasticPollution

🌍🐧 Did you know we have penguins in Africa?

Once millions in South Africa and Namibia, now fewer than 10,000 breeding pairs remain in the wild.

By 2035, it could be extinct in nature. 😔

🚨 Time is running out for the African Penguin! 🐧

In just 100 years, their population has plummeted by 97%! The cause? Overfishing of their main food: sardines and anchovies. 🐟
