Taking over ocean spacePlastic is not only harming animals and ecosystems within the ocean, but due to the current amount dumped into the ocean each year, the ocean will be so full of plastic it will become uninhabitable and unusable for animals and humans alike.

Affect on PeopleWhile it may not seem to directly affect humans, plastic in the ocean will stop us from enjoying the beach as we all love, cause the extinction of all marine animals, and has already begun to enter the food chain causing humans to ingest plastic unknowingly.

re-beaching of plasticPlastic does not just dissappear when thrown in the ocean. Most of the time, if not caught on coral reefs, animals, or ingested, plastic is re-beached in different locations due to tides as well as storms and natural disasters.
