It describes how plastic ends up in the ocean from litter, rivers, and wind, and the dangers it poses to marine life when ingested or when animals get entangled. The document also mentions efforts to increase awareness of the plastic pollution problem through initiatives like a boat made of recycled plastic bottles that was sailed across the Pacific Ocean.

    swallowed, and the carry manmade chemicals, which ge tinto the food chain. “What goes into the
