Plastic pollution is a significant problem for marine life and the health of our oceans with over 30 million new bottles sold each year. Plastic debris can persist in the ocean for hundreds of years, breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces over time, and posing a serious threat to marine wildlife. Many marine animals mistake plastic debris for food, especially small particles like microplastics. When ingested, plastic can cause a range of health problems, from physical damage to internal injuries. It can also block the digestive tract, leading to starvation and death. Animals can also become entangled in larger plastic debris, which can lead to injury, infection, or drowning. Reducing plastic pollution requires a comprehensive approach that addresses both land-based and ocean-based sources of plastic waste. This may include improving waste management and recycling infrastructure, promoting the use of sustainable materials, and encouraging responsible consumption habits among individuals and businesses. By taking action to reduce plastic pollution, we can help protect the health of our oceans and the many species that depend on them.
