World Environment Day numbers
Plastic Pollution by numbers:
- 13 million tonnes of plastic leak into the ocean each year
- There will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050
- 1 million plastic bottles bought every minute
- 90% of bottled water found to contain plastic particles
- 1000,000 marine animals killed by plastic each year
- 50% of consumer plastics are single use
- In the next 10-15 years global plastic production is projected to nearly double
The numbers speak for themselves. What are we doing?
We can all make a change one piece of plastic at a time.
Many Blessings,
