Recycling and pollution
Recycling helps reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions which contributes to climate change. Proper recycling and reducing car, trash burning, and fireplace use can help lower air pollution. If plastic waste is not curbed, fish populations are at risk as many ingest plastic instead of food and can die with plastic in their stomachs, threatening fish in the seas.
Plastic pollution (1)
Plastic pollution in the ocean is a significant problem, with over 30 million bottles and cans thrown into the sea daily in Spain alone and over 1 million masks found in oceans this year. An organization called The Ocean Cleanup was founded in 2013 to develop extraction technologies to remove plastic already in the oceans and intercept more at rivers, having received over $31.5 million in donations to address this issue threatening wildlife such as the whale found with over 125 plastic items in its body.
Recycle
Plastic recycling is important to address as plastics are contaminating marine animals and most die of starvation with plastic filled stomachs. Plastics in the ocean fill the stomachs of marine animals so they can no longer eat and they starve to death. Increased plastic recycling efforts are needed to reduce plastic waste that ends up in oceans harming wildlife.
Pollution
The project aimed to reduce waste in the region by cleaning beaches, roads, and seas with the help of citizen volunteers. After the cleanup efforts, activities and conferences were held to raise awareness about global and local environmental problems caused by coastal waste, particularly plastics. Citizens were engaged to help clean the area and learn about sustainable consumption habits.
