The article offers information on plastic waste in the ocean and waste to mitigate plastic pollution. Hundreds of species of marine animals have been reported to have ingested or become entangled in it, and it’s negatively impacting our ecosystems and resulting in traumatic environmental effects. Through powerful imagery, the exhibition makes the important case for the need to find a balance between using this material and protecting our environment. the planet over plastic and to share how they will make efforts to reduce their use of single-use plastic. 

1.“Plastic wasn’t invented until the late 19th century, and production really only took off around 1950, we have a mere 9.2 billion tons of the stuff to deal with. Of that, more than 6.9 billion tons have become waste. And of that waste, a staggering 6.3 billion tons never made it to a recycling bin—a figure that stunned the scientists who crunched the numbers in 2017.”

2. “Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. Some are harmed visibly strangled by abandoned fishing nets or discarded six-pack rings. Many more are probably harmed invisibly. Marine species of all sizes, from zooplankton to whales, now eat microplastics, the bits smaller than one-fifth of an inch across”.
