今天还是国际海岸清洁日。科学家估计,海洋中现在有1.5亿吨以上的塑料污染物,而且还在以每年800万吨的速度增加。这相当于每分钟就有一满垃圾卡车的塑料废物进入海洋!
塑料在水里永远不会完全分解。它会裹缠鱼、海鸟,海龟和其他海洋哺乳动物或者被这些动物吞食。
海洋需要你的帮助。在9月18日这天,你可以加入全世界最大的海岸清理志愿者大军,为保护你喜爱的海域尽一份力量。
Today is World Cleanup Day, an annual global social action program aimed at combating the global solid waste problem, including the problem of marine debris.
Today also marks the International Coastal Cleanup Day. Scientists estimate that there are more than 150 million tons of plastic pollution in the ocean, with another 8 million tons added each year. That works out to a full garbage truck’s worth of plastic pollution entering the ocean every minute!
Once in the water, plastic never fully biodegrades. It can entrap or be ingested by fish, seabirds, turtles and marine mammals.
The ocean needs your support. On September 18, you can join in to protect your favorite body of water in the world’s largest volunteer coastal cleanup.
