Every year, humans produce millions of tonnes of plastic waste —and a significant amount ends up in the ocean. If current trends continue, there could be more plastic than fish in our seas by 2050. Most of our plastic never really disappears. Instead, it becomes smaller, with particles being swallowed by fish or farm animals and eventually consumed by humans in their food and tap water. To #BeatPlasticPollution, consumer pressure and individual actions —such as refusing plastic cutlery and straws, using refillable water bottles, and bringing your own coffee cups and shopping bags— are key. Yet, real change needs to come from companies, investors, policymakers and governments. The #UnitedNations Ocean Conference in #France this June will spotlight efforts to #SaveOurOcean.
