            What is plastic in water doing? Once an animal dies the plastic is freed back into the ocean to go on killing other wildlife. More than million sea birds and 100,000 mammals and sea turtles are killed by plastic in water per year. 50% of sea animals are killed by plastic in water each year. A single drinking bottle could break down into enough tiny pieces to put on every mile of beach in the entire world.
            What are people doing to solve the problem of plastic in water? People are building recycling clubs. Animals are found and rescued by a vet. At one of the ocean conservancy international coastal cleanups they cleaned up than 1 million plastic bags. Two things you can do to help prevent plastic in water is you can bring your own bags to stores and you can buy items that have less packaging.
