Be a Honu Hero
Plastic pollution is one of the most significant threats impacting our ocean today.
10 million tons of plastic are dumped in our oceans annually
50% of all plastic produced is for single-use purposes
Humans eat an estimated 40 pounds of plastic in their lifetime
Less than 9% of all plastic gets recycled
1 million marine animals are killed by plastic pollution every year
Help save marine animals and ensure a healthy ocean for our future generations.
