A study done by the University of Exeter found that 100% of sea turtles have plastic in their stomachs because they mistake floating plastic debris for food. When sea turtles eat plastic, it can cause physical damage to their intestines, which can cause sea turtles to become sick, or even to die. Plastic pollution isn’t just littering beaches; it’s endangering marine life on a massive scale.
According to National Geographic, 9 out of 10 seabirds have eaten plastic at least once — often mistaking bright plastic fragments for fish or squid. Ingested plastic can pierce organs and fill their stomachs, leaving no room for food.
A single plastic detergent jug can take up to 500 years to break down, and worse, and it never fully disappears. Instead, it breaks into microscopic plastic particles that pollute oceans, soil, and even the air we breathe.
Research shows that 1 in 3 fish caught for human consumption contain plastic particles — meaning seafood often comes with a side of microplastics. These particles can carry toxic chemicals that threaten both ocean ecosystems and human health.
