According to Oceana, an estimated 17.6 billion pounds of plastic leaks into the marine environment. Plastics in our oceans threaten the vitality of our marine eco-systems, with marine animals ingesting or becoming entangled in plastics.
It's not just the marine life that is affected by plastics, you and your family are as well. Plastics contain chemicals found to cause a variety of health issues, including cancer.
If you're like me, you probably thought that plastic usage wasn't harmful, if the plastic was recycled. But, did you know that only 7% of plastics are actually recycled?
Clearly, we must reduce our plastic usage and find viable alternatives.
