There are 8 million tonnes of plastic at least end up in our oceans every year, polluting surface waters to deep-sea sediments
PLASTIC POLLUTION
IN THE OCEAN
IN THE OCEAN
- Plastic
Bottles - Fishing Nets
- Plastic
Bags - Straws
Are kinds of plastic that are usually occurred in the ocean
Those plastics injure marine animals
Moreover, those plastics will be fragmented in the ocean becoming more tiny and invisible for eyes to see (microplastics)
These microplastics will then be eaten by fish without they are knowing
If the fish that has microplastic in it was eaten, the plastic will potentially trigger cancer because of the plastic's carcinogenic behavior
Manage our plastic waste with:
- Bringing a plastic bag from home if we want to go shopping
- Bringing a water bottle if we want to go out
- Getting used to cook food at home rather than buying from the outside
- Manage our own plastic waste at trusted waste management agencies
In that way, our environment will be clean from plastic waste that will pollute the ocean
"We know that when we protect our oceans we're protecting our future"
