There’s already too much plastic in our environment. An estimated 8 million metric tons of plastic flow into the oceans each year. That’s the equivalent to a full garbage truck dumped into the sea every minute.2
In our lakes, rivers, and oceans, plastic pollution threatens marine wildlife. It’s estimated that 90% of seabirds are ingesting plastic now, and nearly every single one will be eating it by 2050. This can cause organ failure, starvation, and death.3
