Plastic Planet: Our Oceans Are Overflowing with Waste. This striking illustration exposes an alarming truth: more than 260,000 tons of plastic waste are currently floating on the surface of the world’s oceans. From the North Pole to Antarctica, no corner of the planet is spared from this widespread pollution. Plastic, now omnipresent, threatens marine ecosystems, suffocates wildlife, and disrupts natural balances.
Each year, millions of tons of plastic waste from human activity—packaging, fishing nets, microplastics—end up in the seas. Carried by ocean currents, they form « plastic continents » and even reach the most remote areas. Once-pristine polar regions are now contaminated as well.
Faced with this ecological emergency, solutions do exist: reducing plastic at the source, adopting biodegradable alternatives, enforcing effective recycling policies, and raising mass awareness. It is time for collective action to reverse the tide. The planet can no longer digest our addiction to plastic the time for environmental awakening is now.
