Plastic litter is bad news for wildlife!

What happens to a piece of plastic litter dropped on the sidewalk? Rain washes it along the pavement and into the gutter. Down it goes into a storm sewer. Pipes carry it—where? Perhaps to a treatment plant where litter will be strained out and landfilled. But many storm sewers lead directly to open water: a creek or a river. Lightweight, buoyant plastic is washed along by the current. And rivers eventually flow into the sea. Today, uncountable trillions of pieces of plastic trash bob in the ocean and float in the water. Hundreds of thousands of marine animals—sharks, whales, seals, seabirds, sea turtles—die every year from swallowing plastic.
