DESCRIPTION
Plastic is poisoning our oceans and a lot of that plastic comes from plastic beverage bottles. Stop using disposable plastic water bottles and switch to using filtered tap water in reusable water bottles. It's easy to do. It will help save the ocean. It will save you money.
Citation preview
100 million marine mammals and turtles in the north Pacific are killed every year by plastic in the ocean
70-100% of North Pacific sea birds are affected by eating plastic. This albatross starved to death because it ate too much plastic trash.
Plastic fragments concentrate pollutants up to one million times ambient levels in sea water - making ingested plastic into poison pills
The fish you eat have likely ingested contaminated plastic. Nature can no longer produce organic fish in the ocean.
If each person in the U.S. replaced their disposable bottled water with a reusable container filled with tap water, we’d keep BILLIONS of plastic water bottles out of the ocean
