Oceans or plastic? Choose the Oceans, join 165 other people and take the Clean Seas Pledge
Did you know that every year, at least 11 million tons of plastic are discarded into our seas? That’s an equivalent of one garbage truck being dumped every minute!
Oceans regulate our climate and generate most of the oxygen we breathe while underpinning key economic sectors and harboring biodiversity. Clean Seas aims at rallying governments, companies and individuals in the fight against marine litter and pollution.
