A Plastic Ocean

Plastic pollution in our oceans is one of the biggest environmental challenges our world faces. Approximately 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans every year. Thousands of seabirds and sea turtles, seals and other marine mammals are killed each year after ingesting plastic or getting entangled in it. In this program, students will learn how media is used to bring people on board with environmental issues.
