The plastic you see and use every day is killing endangered birds, sea turtles and seals by the hundreds of thousands. Every year animals get tangled up in plastic, or eat it, with fatal consequences.
Plastic doesn't belong in our oceans. It doesn't belong in the diet of baby sea birds and it doesn't belong wrapped around dolphins and seals.
