[EcoDharma] 170 Trillion Pieces of Plastic in the Ocean

[Naiko]

Hi all,

From today’s Washington Post:

“There are 21,000 pieces of plastic in the ocean for each person on Earth.
That’s more than 170 trillion pieces of plastic, according to a new study. The amount is doubling about every six years.
Why that’s important: It means the scale of the problem is larger than scientists thought and gives more urgency to U.N. talks on a global treaty.”
