8 million metric tons of plastic waste is dumped into the world's oceans each year, suffocating wildlife, choking whales, poisoning birds and impacting the food we eat that is contaminated with toxins from this plastic. We must immediately begin the restoration of the oceans to save the Earth from total destruction. Not only are we losing the global coral reefs to climate change bleaching, but we must face the fact that 100 million metric tons of coastal plastic waste has already begun to eliminate ocean life.
