We Did This: We Must Get It Right The First Time Around
Growing Studies have estimated that there are now 15-51 trillion pieces of plastic in the oceans of the world. From the equator to the poles, from the Arctic ice sheets to the ocean floor. Not one square mile of surface ocean anywhere on earth is free of plastic pollution. At least 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans every year and make up 80% of all marine debris from surface water to deep-sea sediments. This problem is turning into a crisis.
