Click on an answer below, and every day you do, you’ll help remove one piece of plastic from the ocean.
Plastic by the numbers
Millions of animals are killed by plastics every year, from birds to fish to other marine organisms.
Plastics have been consumed by land-based animals, including elephants, hyenas, zebras, tigers, camels, cattle, and other large mammals.
90% of the water we drink and 33% of the fish we eat contains microplastics, leading to serious health problems.
We consume the equivalent (by weight) of a credit card’s worth of plastic every week.
By 2050 scientists predict that the ocean will contain more plastic by weight than fish.
