Description

New research reveals oceans are drowning in plastic—over eight million metric tons a year—with microplastics posing an even bigger threat to marine life and human health. Scientists used advanced modeling to trace plastic’s global journey, pinpointing major rivers as key pollution sources. This isn’t just an environmental crisis—it’s a human one, impacting fisheries, tourism, and our food chain. The study’s urgent message? We must drastically cut plastic production and rethink our throwaway culture before it’s too late.
