Plastic pollution is a significant threat to our planet's ecosystems and human health. The widespread use of single-use plastics, including plastic bags, straws, and bottles, has led to a staggering amount of plastic waste entering our oceans and our landuse every year. This waste harms not only wildlife but marine animals, such as sea turtles, seabirds, and fish, which can become entangled in plastic debris or mistake it for food. The microplastics that result from the breakdown of larger plastic pieces can also enter the food chain, contaminating seafood and other foods, and potentially causing health problems in the human population.
