The world is sinking into garbage!
Our seas are choking on plastic. Marine animals and birds regularly die in the garbage, and people struggle with the side effects of the global flood of garbage every day.
According to the WWF, a current estimate of the global input of plastic waste into the oceans is between 4.8 and 12.7 million tons per year. That is equivalent to one truckload per minute. Only a small part of the plastic waste floats on the surface, the rest is transported to deeper waters or to the seabed and is almost impossible to retrieve. According to estimates, around 80 million tons have currently accumulated there.
