RETHINKING PLASTIC: You can get rid of bad habits faster than plastic... Every one of us – more or less – is part of the problem and thus, part of the solution. ...What is only in use for a few hours or days and is easily disposable is also very durable and lasts for decades thereby acutely polluting the environment. Six million tons of plastic waste per annum finds its way via rivers to the oceans where the plastic debris disintegrates into tiny particles. For marine animals, plastic items resemble their natural food and they thus ingest the plastic debris. As a result, the animals starve to death with their stomachs full of plastic. --Please avoid using plastic whenever possible or dispose of it properly. oceancare.org/en/projectsandcampaigns/campaigns/plasticpollution/
