clear plastic bottle

A plastic water bottle found washed ashore during a beach cleanup on Long Island, NY. Single use plastics pose such a grave threat to our world's oceans because they can choke marine life, break down into microplastics, and are present in every facet of our lives. We can all take steps to help solve this global issue, such as: 1. Raising our voices in local government to promote better recycling solutions. 2. Use less in our everyday lives (shopping, coffee cups, water bottles, packaging). 3. Clean your local beach and spread the word! Follow on Instagram @wildlife_by_yuri
