Entry Summary
Five trillion plastic pieces are found in our oceans today, and every minute the world dumps an entire garbage truck of plastic into the ocean. At the current rate, the United Nations has declared that by 2025 the plastic to fish ratio will be 1:3, with a major impact on oceans and ocean life. An immediate action is needed to create a strong impact and spread a global message that highlights the urgency of the problem, showing that we don’t have more time to waste.
