4ocean’s Milestone: 30 Million Pounds of Trash Collected

I found this cool article on One Tree Planted website.

Since the 1950s, it is estimated that humans have produced just over 18 trillion pounds of plastic. Unfortunately, most of that plastic has found its way into our oceans, harming animals and ecosystems alike. 

The plastic that is found in the ocean can also harm people since many of us get protein through seafood. Although ocean pollution is a very real problem, strides are being made to clean our oceans and protect sea creatures.

4ocean announced an incredible milestone that helps us get one step closer to clean oceans. They have officially collected 30 million pounds of trash from the ocean –– a record-setting accomplishment. Helping to clean our oceans protects vital ecosystems for generations to come!

Way to go 4ocean!! What are your thoughts, share in the comments.
