Say No to Pollution in Oceans
#StopPollutionInOceans
Pollution in oceans is a huge issue now.
Let's stop this pollution in oceans before it's too late...
The problem of pollution in oceans can be tackled by looking at the root cause. And it is not a lack of technology or money that is needed but rather a willingness to work together and change behavior for a cleaner world.
We need to work across sectors to find solutions.
Remember together we can make the change.

Why is this important?
Pollution in oceans is a huge issue now. Here are some stats and facts to prove this:
Up to 12.7 million tons of plastic enter the Ocean every year. That’s similar to emptying a garbage truck of plastic into an ocean every minute.
There is more microplastic in the ocean than there are stars in the Milky Way.
Plastic in the Ocean breaks up into smaller fragments called microplastics. It will never go away! These microplastics have been identified in commercial fish consumed by humans.
322 million tons of plastic were produced in 2015 — the same weight as 900 Empire State Buildings (which is made of granite and steel).
Birds are highly susceptible to plastic ingestion. It is estimated that over 90% of all seabirds have ingested plastic.
60-90% of marine litter is plastic-based.
The average UK citizen consumes 167 plastic water bottles each year — but recycles just 25% of them.
I'm Kevin Wilson from https://waterfilterhelper.com/. I love helping people solve their water problems.
I strongly believe that we need to start the change with ourselves. That's why I've created this petition.
