Our oceans are amazing! They are filled with wonderful sea creatures and are
essential for a healthy planet. But it's now estimated that there are more
pieces of plastic in the ocean than visible stars in the Milky Way. So how can
we stop plastic from our homes and cities from ending up floating in oceans far
away? By becoming ocean change-makers!
Oceans of Plastic explores how ocean systems and swirling currents bring
plastics together into massive ocean garbage patches. It also uncovers the
floating world of the 'plastisphere' - a mini community of microbes living on
ocean plastics - and explains how plastic breaks up, not down, and can even end
up on your dinner plate!
Oceans of Plastic is packed with great ideas and simple changes that you can
make to help our oceans. Become an ocean change-maker in your home, school or
community, and inspire others to join you in protecting the future of our
oceans.
