Plastic pollutes.
With over a thousand metric tons of plastic produced globally every day, it’s not surprising that plastic waste is turning up everywhere. As our global standard of living has grown, so has the amount of plastic produced, used and discarded.
Plastics production contributes to climate change – it’s made from fossil hydrocarbons and pollutes at every stage in its lifecycle (material extraction, product production, waste disposal).
There’s a global movement to attack the mounds of plastic garbage in our marine environment but did you know it’s building up in our soil and rivers and streams too?
Read on for key facts about plastic pollution and find out what you can do to help.
