This is why we have to #JustStopPlastic.
No, recycling will not solve this. That's Conservative greenwash. This is a global issue. It needs a global termination of the root cause.

The Ocean Cleanup: Rivers are the main pathways through which plastic reaches the oceans:
🔹≈100,000 ocean-bound rivers worldwide
🔹≈1,300,000 m3 of water moves from rivers to oceans (over 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools) every second,
🔹bringing up to 125 kg of plastic downstream - every second
