As if the ocean plastic crisis wasn't already severe enough, new research suggests that there's more than 14 MILLION TONS of microplastics at the bottom of the ocean.
Microplastics are small pieces of plastic that have broken off from larger pieces. They're less than 5mm wide, so just imagine how many pieces it takes to equate 14 million tons.
How can you help fight this?
Well, a great place to start is eliminating single-use plastic from your daily routine.
Raising awareness, hosting your own cleanups, and supporting ocean-friendly legislation are all other great ways to fight the ocean plastic crisis.
