2.5 Seconds series
We're surrounded by plastic. It wraps our food and cosmetics, it’s in the packaging we discard, bottles that fill our shelves, and in our clothing, which sheds microplastic fibers in the wash. But, disposable consumer goods end up – often after a single, fleeting use – in land-fills, littering our landscapes, and polluting our Ocean.
Plastics are inexpensive and durable, and as a result, levels of plastic production by humans are enormous. An estimated 8 million tonnes of this plastic waste enters the Ocean every year. Global plastics consumption is predicted to grow dramatically, reaching close to 400 million tonnes a year by 2025. If the rate at which plastic debris enters the Ocean goes unchecked, it is possible that the Ocean could contain more plastic than fish by 2050. Not one square mile of surface ocean anywhere on earth is free of plastic pollution. Plastic debris has formed giant garbage patches. The largest is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch includes an estimated 1.8 trillion pieces of trash and covers an area twice the size of Texas.
Plastic is made from petroleum. Unfortunately, it is so durable that the EPA reports “every bit of plastic ever made still exists.” It is very slow to degrade. It takes 450 years for a plastic bottle to decompose! Over time, plastic does not biodegrade but breaks down into tiny particles known as microplastics leading to chemical contamination of the water and fish we eat. Microplastics are eaten by small marine animals and so enter the food chain ending up in human bodies! A 2017 study found that 83% of tap water samples taken around the world contained plastic pollutants. BPA plastic can disrupt hormones in humans.
Plastics pollution has a direct and deadly effect on wildlife, particularly marine animals. Thousands of seabirds and sea turtles, seals and other marine mammals are killed each year after ingesting plastic waste, poisoning through exposure to chemicals within plastics or getting entangled in it. Fish in the North Pacific ingest up to 24,000 tons of plastic each year. Sea turtles can mistake floating plastic garbage for food. They can choke or starve by thinking they’re full from eating plastic.
