Some plastic is beneficial and serves a specialized purpose including its use in vehicles, computers, and many medical applications. However, single-use plastics which are used for a few minutes and then discarded, have created a major pollution problem. Our ocean is filling up with plastic trash &#8211; choking fish, birds, turtles, and whales. It is even entering the human food chain in the form of microplastics. Plastic isn\u2019t made to pollute the ocean, but up to 11 million tons of plastic still enter marine waters each year. Much of it starts out on land from overflowing landfills or as litter on our beaches, streets, and sidewalks that are swept into storm drains, creeks, streams, and rivers \u2014 all leading to the ocean.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We must change the current flow of plastic pollution by stopping plastic at the source &#8211; advocating for better product alternatives and switching to reusable for our everyday needs. We encourage individuals, industry, and governments to protect our ocean, waves, and beaches by moving away from unnecessary single-use plastics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common Plastic Pollution Sources<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" src=\"http:\/\/demos.ascendoor.com\/top-charity-green-planet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2022\/06\/pexels-christopher-187497-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2885\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/demos.ascendoor.com\/top-charity-green-planet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2022\/06\/pexels-christopher-187497-min.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/demos.ascendoor.com\/top-charity-green-planet\/2022\/06\/03\/plastic-reduction\/pexels-christopher-187497-min\/\" class=\"wp-image-2885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/demos.ascendoor.com\/top-charity-green-planet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2022\/06\/pexels-christopher-187497-min.jpg 640w, https:\/\/demos.ascendoor.com\/top-charity-green-planet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2022\/06\/pexels-christopher-187497-min-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">PPlastic Straws<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"http:\/\/demos.ascendoor.com\/top-charity-green-planet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2022\/06\/pexels-anna-shvets-3900505-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2884\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/demos.ascendoor.com\/top-charity-green-planet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2022\/06\/pexels-anna-shvets-3900505-min.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/demos.ascendoor.com\/top-charity-green-planet\/2022\/06\/03\/plastic-reduction\/pexels-anna-shvets-3900505-min\/\" class=\"wp-image-2884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/demos.ascendoor.com\/top-charity-green-planet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2022\/06\/pexels-anna-shvets-3900505-min.jpg 640w, https:\/\/demos.ascendoor.com\/top-charity-green-planet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2022\/06\/pexels-anna-shvets-3900505-min-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Plastic Bags<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"http:\/\/demos.ascendoor.com\/top-charity-green-planet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2022\/06\/pexels-polina-tankilevitch-3735205-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2883\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/demos.ascendoor.com\/top-charity-green-planet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2022\/06\/pexels-polina-tankilevitch-3735205-min.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/demos.ascendoor.com\/top-charity-green-planet\/2022\/06\/03\/plastic-reduction\/pexels-polina-tankilevitch-3735205-min\/\" class=\"wp-image-2883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/demos.ascendoor.com\/top-charity-green-planet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2022\/06\/pexels-polina-tankilevitch-3735205-min.jpg 640w, https:\/\/demos.ascendoor.com\/top-charity-green-planet\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2022\/06\/pexels-polina-tankilevitch-3735205-min-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Plastic Bottles<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reducing the impact of plastics in the marine environments that surround us.
