Oceans of plastic: 269,000 tons literally choking the blue

If you think plastic is harmless, don’t be surprised the next time you find bits of plastic in your fish.

There are plastic shopping bags, bottles, toys, action figures, bottle caps, pacifiers, tooth brushes, boots, buckets, deodorant roller balls, umbrella handles, fishing gear, toilet seats and so much more. Plastic pollution is pervasive in Earth’s oceans.
