Plastic Pollution

  • Recycling is not a sustainable option anymore.
  • Over 90% of plastic in the world is not being

recycled but thrown in our oceans and on our coast lines.

  • 12 million metric tons of plastic enter our oceans

each year (26.5 billions pounds of plastic).

  • Plastic production is increasing each year.

Effecting the animals and Us

  • Plastic is injuring and killing fish, seabirds and marine

mammals.

  • It kills up to a million seabirds a year.
  • Research indicates that half of sea turtles worldwide have

ingested plastic and some starve after mistakenly thinking they have eaten enough because their stomachs are full.

  • Oceans serve as the world’s largest source of protein, with

more than 3 billion people depending on the ocean but researchers are finding that many fish have ingested plastic pieces.
