According to Greenpeace, more than 100,000 sea creatures and a million sea birds die every year after
eating plastic or getting trapped in plastic rubbish. Sometimes, when baby turtles get trapped in plastic the
shape of their shell changes when they grow. Some sea creatures make their homes in plastic rubbish, such as
the hermit crabs that live on polluted Pacific beaches.
Every year, the world produces more than 300 million tonnes of plastic! In a minute, people around the
globe use more than a million plastic bags and they throw away more than a million plastic bottles. Where will
all this plastic end up? About 10% of it will be recycled, and some will go to landfill, but a lot of it will end up
polluting the oceans. Experts estimate that there are already 200 million tonnes of plastic in the world's
oceans, and this will increase by about 7 million tonnes every year.
Because plastic isn't biodegradable it won't decompose naturally, so all the plastic that we have now in the
world will exist forever. That means we’ll need to clean up the oceans if we want to protect our sea creatures.
Better still, if we don’t use so much plastic, it won't end up in the ocean! Experts are warning that if we don't
take urgent action, there might be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050.
