PLASTIC IS A HEALTH THREAT
IMPACT ON MARINE LIFE
Plastic pollution kills millions of animals every year. Plastic bags are mistaken as jellyfish and eaten by turtles. Whales swallow hundreds of kilograms of plastic as “bycatch” while fishing for krill or eating smaller fish that already swallowed microplastic. The plastic fills their stomachs and can’t be digested which eventually leads to starvation.
MICROPLASTIC IN HUMAN BLOOD
Macroplastic breaks down into microplastic which is eaten by animals and through the food chain also ends up on our plates. Scientists found microplastic in human blood and studies say that people eat on average 5 gram of plastic every week - this is the equivalent of a credit card.
