Plastic pollution crisis: How waste ends up in our oceans
Description
June 17, 2018
It's a plastic ocean out there. Beaches throughout South East Asia are closing and whales are being found dead with a belly full of plastic. Over the last ten years, we have produced more plastic than all of the 20th century. We look at exactly how our trash and plastic ends up in our oceans and the impact it's having on our environment.
