We hear it everyday - stop single use plastic.
Reuse and recycle.
We only have one Earth, we need to save her.
But how often do these words really come through to us?
Can we fully understand the effects our plastic waste has on our Ocean?
Did you know that by 2050, there could be more plastic in the ocean than there will be fish?
Or that one million seabirds and one hundred thousand ocean mammals are killed every year from these plastics?
So much plastic waste has been plaguing our oceans since the 1950s (8 billion tonnes to be exact) and only 9% has been recycled.
