Plastic Pollution- a man-made global catastrophe.

Annually approximately over 500 billion plastic bags are used worldwide. More than one million bags are used every minute. More than half of these bags are used just once and then thrown away. Plastic particles in the oceans attract toxins. These enter the food chain even if we decide not to care about marine life, which we should not do, we must not forget that we are at the top of that food chain.

Over the last 60 years plastic has become central to our lives and mankind has subjected the planet to a tsunami of plastic waste. Plastic Oceans provides a powerful and effective platform campaigning for, supporting and funding targeted solutions aimed at significantly reducing plastic pollution in the environment.
