HOW TO HELP?

Marine life says no to plastic! The role plastic products play in the daily lives of people all over the world is interminable, the impact of these numbers border on inconceivable. Plastic debris is resulting in marine life consuming it and becoming tangled and trapped in plastic (Zuckerman, 2017). Sadly, an overwhelming amount of plastic pollution isn’t even visible to the human eye, with much of the pollution occurring out at sea and resulting in marine life being trapped long after they have died in plastic causing heartbreak to many as they wash up on shore for us to see. It has been found that at least 100 million marine mammals are being killed each year from pollution and rising.

There are many ways to keep plastic out of the ocean but as individuals it begins with us! Do your part today, hosting a cleanup day once a month with a group of friends or hold a big event for local clean up contribution. Help local legislators forbid plastic and/or littering and enforced by fines. Taking responsibility and turning it into action by shore cleaning is a simple, easy, and effective way of helping save marine life by removing plastic that may be consumed from sea life or trapped in can easily be targeted by your efforts and choices. Common Plastic found: cigarette buds, food wrappers, beverage bottles, straws, cups and plates. Impacts of plastic: Entanglement of marine life getting caught in plastic debris. Ingestion- animals mistaking plastic for food.
