Plastic Pollution

Plastics in the Ocean

The use of plastics in the oceans is a major environmental problem. Plastic pollution is a global issue that is having a devastating impact on marine life and ecosystems. Plastic pollution can entangle and trap marine animals, leading to injury or death. Animals can also mistake plastic for food, which can cause them to become sick or even die. Plastic pollution can also disrupt marine ecosystems by smothering coral reefs and other habitats. In addition to the harm it causes to marine life, plastic pollution can also have a negative impact on human health. When plastic breaks down, it can release harmful chemicals into the environment. These chemicals can then enter the food chain, where they can be consumed by humans. Let’s ● Reduce ● Recycle ● Educate We all have a role to play in reducing plastic pollution. By making small changes in our everyday lives, we can make a big difference.
