Trivia
It has been estimated that by the year 2050, there will be more plastic waste by weight dumped inside oceans than fish. This plastic waste lingers on for decades after they have outlived their usefulness. The worst part is how they become ingested by aquatic life, poisoning them slowly over the course of their lives. |
