Disposable plastics and their impact on our oceans is a global crisis!
National Geographic reports that 18 billion pounds of plastics enter the oceans every year. Plastics do not go away. Large pieces can harm and trap sea life. Much of it breaks down into smaller and smaller bits (micro plastics) along with associated toxins and can be found inside fish and plankton.
