Description
Every year, 18 billion pounds of plastic trash gets dumped into our oceans. That’s enough to cover every foot of coastline around the world with five full trash bags. Pollution has turned our oceans into a ticking time bomb. But back in the 1970s, a little-known development off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, Florida tried to save their local reef… by dumping a staggering two million used car tires directly on top of it. Um, what? Despite what you might think, this wasn’t meant to hurt marine life – oh no! They wanted to help it. And the results might surprise you. So, stick around to find out just why two million tires ended up in the bottom of the ocean.
