Reduce

Plastic waste has a profound effect on ocean life, people, and our environment. Marine animals, who live in and around this rubbish, often consume it, mistaking it for food. Plastic digestion often leads to death and enters the food chain affecting human health. Trash Islands intercept shipping routes. People in coastal communities cannot fish or access water along their shores. A large portion of this plastic travels to the ocean from other aquatic sources, such as rivers and harbors, with similar negative effects.

By reducing the amount of plastic we use on an everyday basis and using more sustainable materials as an alternative, we prevent this plastic from entering our oceans.
