It's time to stop hurting over 100,000 marine animals each year with harmful single-use plastic. While some marine creatures can identify food easily, others can't. For example, hungry sea turtles can mistake plastic bags for jellyfish. By reducing the amount of single-plastic we use, including plastic bags, we can stop one of the greatest threats to our marine ecosystem, harming more than 800 species that call it home.

How does plastic end up in the ocean in the first place? The United Nations Environment Programme (@unep) reports that 80% of ocean plastic comes from land-based sources. This includes: 1️⃣ Plastic waste flowing into the ocean through rivers and other water pathways 2️⃣ A lack of proper waste management infrastructure, particularly in rural areas 3️⃣ Climate factors like rainy seasons increase the flow of plastic to the ocean, in Indonesia it can be 2 to 3 times more than in any other season Learn more: https://bit.ly/3s342uN (Source: UNEP, World Bank) #PlasticBank #SocialPlastic #StopOceanPlastic #EndPoverty #BeatPlasticPollution
