Disposable single-use items are the most common items found on our coastlines but they are not the only cause. Progress appears to be being made, with the 5p charge on plastic bags and a proposed ban on plastic straws. But do these neat, plausible and easy solutions match up to the scale of the problem?
A Plastic Ocean documents how plastics, once they enter the oceans, break up into small particulates know as micro-plastics which lurk beneath the surface of our seemingly pristine ocean. With micro-plastics recently being reported in Arctic sea ice it is clear this is a global environmental issue that we are all capable of doing something about.
