A SUPER PROBLEM
This picture of an Albatross feeding her chick plastic mistaken as food explains why we do what we do. Plastic pollution and microplastics contaminate our food, our drinking water, our oceans, our rain, our soil, and all ecosystems, while plastic chemicals are found in the blood of our newborn babies. Unless we take action, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050(*).
