This giant poop represents the amount of plastic that enters the ocean EVERY 30 SECONDS. Scary huh. Most of it enters via land, and most of that from Asia. These regions don't have any formal waste management or recycling infrastructure - plastic just gets thrown 'away', buried or burnt. Eventually, with the next monsoon rains, that plastic will get washed into a ditch, then a stream, a river, and then the ocean. We want to stop that happening!
