What You'll Learn
Fact 1 — Plastic bottles take a very, very long time to go away.
A single plastic bottle takes approximately 450 years to break down in the ocean. That's older than the United States! 1
Fact 2 — There are a LOT of them.
Every year, around 127 billion plastic bottles are used worldwide — and about 75% never get recycled. Ocean Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup counted plastic bottles as one of the top 3 items collected across 40 years of beach cleanups. 2 3
Ocean Impact: Whales, sea turtles, and seabirds can accidentally swallow plastic bottles, mistaking them for food. Whole bottles have been found in the stomachs of beached whales. 4
What You Can Do 💪
Grab a reusable bottle! Switching from single-use plastic bottles to a reusable water bottle is one of the easiest ways to cut ocean plastic. Ask a grown-up to get you one — most last for years and save hundreds of bottles from ever being made.
