The answer is ,,Yes".

All of us are eating plastic.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is twice the size of France. It is an area of the Pacific Ocean where rubbish is collected. It´s a huge collection of rubbish. It was discovered in 1997. Over 1 MIO. birds are killed from plastic because they think it is plancton and eat it.

Pieces of bottles,toys,ropes... are found in the stomach of birds. 80% of litter in the ocean was thrown away on land.

100 jears ago Leo H.Bakeland found out how to produce the first product from petroleum. It needs 200 jears to degrade. Plastic is not biodegradable.

What can we do?

We can recycle, reuse, reduse plastic.

You should not take plastic bags in shops - you can use paper bags instead.

We have a chance.

So, let's use it. You should take action before it´s too late.
