Plastic pollution contaminates our
oceans
Millions of mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles are being
killed every year by plastic bags. It is estimated that
plastic bags take up an area double the size of Texas in
the Pacific Ocean between San Francisco and the Hawaiian
Islands. Many countries and states are joining together
in an effort to control the plastic pollution that is contaminating
our oceans.
