Rivers are the main pathways through which plastic reaches the oceans: 🔹≈100,000 ocean-bound rivers worldwide 🔹≈1,300,000 m3 of water moves from rivers to oceans (over 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools) every second, 🔹bringing up to 125 kg of plastic downstream - every second

🌊 The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is finally meeting its match, a floating barrier kilometers long that scrubs plastic from the open sea. It drifts with the currents so trash collects in the center, while fish slip safely underneath. ♻️ The goal? Remove 90% of floating ocean plastic. ✨ #omgfacts #Ocean #Plastic

The UN estimates we dump a garbage truck’s worth of plastic into our oceans, rivers, & lakes every minute. Less than 10% of plastic is recycled because it’s made too cheaply to be used & reused.📉⬇️The best solution is to reduce, recycle and reuse ♻️ #ClimateAction
