A single plastic bag may appear innocuous, yet it may cause severe misery – and possibly death – for thousands of marine species. Once used, the plastic you use tortures the oceans indefinitely. The video shows a guy rescuing a seal who was in excruciating pain after getting into touch with plastics from everyday objects that were dumped without care. We can clearly see that the seal was overjoyed after being saved by the guy and that he/she even lingered for a few minutes to say “Thank you” to him.

8 million tons of plastic enter the ocean every year. That’s the same as one truckload tossed into the ocean. It then embarks on a lengthy and disastrous journey. Plastic that enters the ocean may be transported thousands of miles by currents to all regions of the globe, including Antarctica and the Mariana Trench, the world’s deepest spot. It infiltrates ecosystems and causes enormous devastation to marine life along the way.

Despite the magnitude of the problem, worldwide plastic manufacturing continues, putting the world’s seas in jeopardy. Each year, hundreds of millions of marine species become entangled in plastic debris, limiting their movement and capacity to feed, as well as causing injuries and diseases. The harm caused by plastic ingestion is less visible: seabirds, turtles, fish, and whales frequently mistake plastic garbage for food because part of it has a food-like texture.

Plastics also absorb contaminants that float in the water and contain hazardous compounds. According to a preliminary study, ingesting these toxin-infused particles may harm animals’ organs, increase their susceptibility to sickness, and disrupt reproduction.
