1 year agoAccording to this website (https://www.condorferries.co.uk/plastic-in-the-ocean-statistics) 33 billion pounds of plastic enter the ocean each year.
So in the same timeframe that ocean cleanup extracted 25,000 pounds, 2.5 billion pounds were dumped.
I’m not saying its not a worthwhile exercise, but that’s depressing.
But really, where else can you go to read a bunch of eight year old tweets?
