There are over five trillion pieces of plastic debris in the ocean. It's up to us to take action and make a difference. http://love-the-ocean.com/us/ | National Geographic

Plastic pollution poses one of the biggest known threats to the ocean, influencing all ecosystems from beautiful coral reefs to abyssal trenches, eventually accumulating in our own food.
