Ocean Pollution
Did you know that an estimated 3.5 million tons of trash reside in the "World's Largest Landfill" (a.k.a The Pacific Ocean)? And that, according to the University of California San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography, fish ingest an estimated 12,000 to 24,000 tons of plastic per year in the Pacific Ocean? Not only that, but 20% of the trash that enters the Landfill comes from beachgoers that allow their trash to float out to sea. Unbelievable, right?
