It's heartbreaking to think about the scale of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. This is a huge wake-up call about our plastic use. We need to reduce, reuse, and recycle more, and support efforts to clean up our oceans. The impact on marine life is devastating, and it’s up to all of us to make a difference.
