A report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation has shown that by 2050, there will be more plastic in the sea than fish! Firstly, the report showed that we are making twenty times more plastic than we were making 50 years ago. However, only 5% of these plastics are recycled. Secondly, every year 8 million tonnes of plastic pollution goes into the ocean. This is the same as putting one rubbish lorry of plastic into the ocean every minute. Small pieces of plastic can kill fish and larger pieces of plastic are dangerous for turtles and seals.
According to the report, what will happen by 2050?
