Plastic is everywhere—oceans, rivers, soil, and even inside animals! Every minute, the equivalent of one truckload of plastic enters our oceans. Sea turtles think plastic bags are jellyfish and eat them, leading to painful deaths. Fish ingest microplastics, and guess what? We eat the fish. It’s a cycle we don’t want to be part of. Say no to single-use plastics—carry a cloth bag, avoid plastic straws, and reuse containers. These changes may seem tiny, but when millions of people do them together, the impact is huge. Want to be a planet protector? Start by skipping plastic.
