Roughly 2% of all the plastic entering our oceans comes from the Rio Motagua in Guatemala. That may not seem like a lot, but global aviation accounts for 1.9% of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
In terms of impact, stopping the flow of plastic in this one river would be to the ocean plastic crisis what eliminating all air travel and freight would be to climate change.
A River of Change from @Corona x 4ocean helps reduce plastic pollution in our oceans by moving collection efforts upstream into highly polluted rivers like the Rio Motagua.
