I guess you all know about the plastic problems in the ocean… This really scares me. What have we done to our world? Can we save our world?

…it would require every man, woman and child on earth, 6.6 billion… During their lifetime - to cleanup the ocean – they would have to be in charge for 100 000 pickup truck loads of ocean…

When you think of all the plastic bottles, boxes, containers, wrapping… that we use once and then throw away… what a waste of resources!

Plastic packaging is usually made from oil. For each pound of plastic that is recycled it saves us one liter of oil and two kilograms of carbon dioxide. In Sweden, we use 155 000 tonnes of plastic packaging each year, approximately 17 kilograms per person. It takes 450 years before a plastic bottle ended up in nature has been broken down. By leaving it to the recycling can instead become a new bottle, a dish brush or a fence.
