Team Seas is raising 30 million dollars to remove 30 million pounds of plastic and trash from the ocean. This is one pound of trash cleaned up for each dollar raised. They are working with the most trusted non-profit clean-up organizations on the planet such as Ocean Conservancy and The Ocean Cleanup to make this happen.

❓🌊 In your opinion, what is the best way to stop filling our oceans with plastics? Stop making plastics? Collect & recycle plastics? Make natural/biodegradable plastics? Other?

I don't get how fully formed plastic products end up in the ocean. I, and I am sure most of the viewers here, put their rubbish in the bin. I PAY My local council to then take it away and dispose of it correctly. If it ends up in the ocean after that, surely its the people who are miss-handling it that need to be punished?
Also, most plastics can not be recycled, and many that can be recycled can only be done so once. The environment would actually be better off if everything was buried once finished with, rather than burned or 'recycled' as producing new plastics is actually more efficient and produces less waste products than burning or recycling
