Our oceans are home to countless creatures, but plastic waste harms them in many ways. Animals get tangled, choked, or sick from eating plastic. This hurts their health and disrupts the ocean's balance.
Plastic toxins pose risks to human health, especially as they can seep into the food and drinks we store in plastic containers. Additionally, microplastics find their way into our food chain, with fish and other seafood ingesting these tiny particles. This means that we inadvertently consume these microplastics when we eat seafood, raising concerns about the potential health impacts on humans.
