More than 93 billion plastic water containers are thrown away each year in the US. That’s enough to reach to the moon and back 38 times. National Geographic

All of this (more than a half-pound of plastic) was removed from the stomach of an albatross, a large sea bird

Less than 1% of plastic bags are recycled. Instead, they end up in the ocean, where animals mistake them for food or become trapped in them.
