Henderson Island is the responsibility of the British Government.Clean it up NOW...

Lavers’ painstaking research, published in PNAS , revealed that Henderson has “the highest density of anthropogenic waste recorded anywhere in the world, with 99.8 percent of the pollution plastic” (The Guardian). The research team estimated 38 million pieces of plastic exist on the island, with a combined weight of 17.6 tons. Plastic continues to wash up on the island at a rate of up to 13,000 new items daily. This may seem mindboggling, but it gets worse when you put it into perspective: “The debris estimated to be present on Henderson Island account for only 1.98 seconds’ worth of the annual global production of plastic.”
