Each year 8 million metric tons of plastic pollution ends up in the ocean. The harsh reality of our world is plastic pollution is increasing vigorously and even though actions are starting to take place, it is becoming more and more difficult to combat the rising rate of plastic pollution. Unfortunately plastic doesn’t biodegrade; it can take between 70-450 years for a single plastic to break down. During that time, it pollutes our beaches, endangers our marine life, affects our health and inevitably is creating a plastic sea.
