What can you do to help?

Plastic water bottles take a long time to break down in the ocean and you only them once. 

​

Instead, use metal water bottles that you can use over and over again.

Really try and avoid plastic but if you have to use it then make sure it can be recycled by looking at the little symbol on there and putting it in the recycle bin. 

If you don't pick it up it'll eventually end up in the ocean so pick it up so it can be recycled.

There are companies that are trying to help. For example, there's a cool company thats making pods that can hold water and be swallowed even the outside bit. Check out the video below
