There are an estimated 5 trillion pieces of plastic in the ocean worldwide, with 8 million metric tons added to the ocean every year. Wildlife are dying at a rapid pace because they end up entangled in plastic or eating plastic that is tossed away.
It’s time to rethink plastic and take a hard look at how we use plastics every day. By swapping a few everyday plastic items for more sustainable alternatives, we can help reduce plastic pollution and save our oceans and wildlife.
