Sad Truths about Pollution

​

According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF)

• 85% of Australian seabirds are affected by plastic pollution.
  Out at sea, plastic is deadly. Marine animals like turtles can choke on plastic bags mistaken for jellyfish, seabirds get entangled in drifting fishing gear, and larger animals like whales can starve because their stomachs are so full of plastic debris they’ve eaten.
  Microplastics can be just as fatal. Smaller creatures like plankton can ingest it, making its way up the food chain and onto our plates.
  It’s clear that urgent action needs to be taken to solve this problem.

• 95% of plastic packaging is discarded after a single use. Single-use plastic products are convenient, right? While they might make our daily lives easier, they’re costly to our environment. Most plastics don’t biodegrade, so unless they’re recycled, up-cycled or repurposed, they pose a significant threat to marine wildlife. Globally, more than eight million tonnes of plastic ends up in our oceans every year.
  That’s why it’s so important that single-use plastics are phased out or given a new life within a circular economy. We need to make sure that they don’t end up discarded in landfills, in our oceans and endangering our precious wildlife.​

How can we stop this?
The answer is: WE ALL CAN!

​

Small decisions like choosing an eco-friendly product, using reusable bags, reusable bottles, cups, recycling scraps of plastic, saying no to single use — can all make a huge difference for the future of our planet.
It’s one of the easiest things we can do to make a positive impact and ensure that we don’t let nature go to waste.

Who can help to remove plastic?
One of the world’s greatest problems is currently the amount of plastic in our oceans; thankfully, there is a proudly Australian organisation that provides practical and tangible solutions to reduce plastics across the globe — and we’re honoured to support them.
