This is a short 2-minute video that shows us how plastic affects marine life.

Plastic is a global threat as we know it and plastic in the ocean along with wind, heat, and water breaks into microfibres and plastic debris and lies on the ocean floor. About 5.25 trillion plastic debris lies on the floor.

Mammals and Fish are prone to get confused and consume this plastic and suffocate and die a slow and painful death. Not only do they eat it, but it sometimes gets stuck in their mouth and on them.

The video idea shows us if we were in the animals' position and it shows us how we treat them indirectly. The video also makes us question if we care for our ecosystem. And if we do, we should do everything to protect it.
