Plastic pollution poses one of the biggest known threats to the ocean, influencing all ecosystems from beautiful coral reefs to abyssal trenches, eventually accumulating in our own food. In this video of 3 minutes, we will see that how can we save oceans from plastic trash and on which sector we need to work to protect our ocean.

Every year 8 metric tons of plastic garbage enters the sea which is equivalent to five grocery bags filled with plastic for every foot of coastline in the world. Across Plastic garbage is dispersed almost everywhere concentrated on a large scale, decomposed into small pieces, ingested by marine organisms, and sinking to the bottom of the sea.

In order to solve the plastic packaging problem, we need to effectively rethink the entire system, from take- make- dispose to one where it can be recovered and fed back to the economy as valuable plastic material. The ultimate goal of the plastic economy is to design an economy where plastic packaging never becomes waste. For doing that we need every single one to change the way that they do things. But marine pollution comes in many forms that are industrial, agricultural, and urban waste.

With sustained pollution, these areas become dead zones that already exist in more than 400 locations across the globe. Pollution can be managed through a change in major contributing systems like agriculture. We all are involved in agriculture. So It’s a problem that all of us have to work together to solve. Soil health is critical for water quality. It’s the first thing we have to focus on. Organic matter is the key thing we try to improve. The more organic matter we have in the soil the better the soil can hold on to the water and nutrients and prevents them from leaching to deeper soil layers. That is good for farmers and also good for water quality in the bay.
