Superheroes at Work!
A large amount of ocean pollution is plastic litter. Plastics have been on earth for close to 70 years and in that time, we have created over 9 billion tons of plastic litter. Most plastics are not recycled and end up as garbage in landfills and in our ocean. In fact, over 350 million tons of plastics are produced each year but less than 10% are recycled. Do your part to remove ocean litter by participating in beach clean ups and recycle plastic litter!
