Studies show that there are 46,000 pieces of plastic litter floating on every square mile of the ocean. Which is why its no surprise that every year more than 1 million birds, more than 100,000 whales, seals, turtles, and countless fish worldwide are killed by just plastic debris. These deaths occur through entanglement, suffocation and starvation by ingestion. Many don't know the effects that just one plastic bag can have.
