Vidste du at...
- Mindst 8 milliarder kg plast ender hvert år i havet på verdensplan [3]
- 80 procent af al plast i havet stammer fra land, men føres ud i havet af vind, floder og spildevand [4]
- Mindst 60 procent af alle havpattedyrarter i det nordøstatlantiske område har lidt under indtagelse af eller indfiltring i havaffald [5]
- Brugen af visse kemikalier har været strengt reguleret siden 1980’erne, men de skader stadig havpattedyr i dag [6]. Et eksempel er pesticidet DDT, som blev brugt til at dræbe insekter og øge udbyttet i landbruget fra 1940 til 1970. Man kan stadig finde DDT i havpattedyrs spæklag [7]

Når en plastikflaske havner i naturen, er det så forbrugeren, der køber flasken, eller virksomheden, der producerer den, som bærer størst ansvar for miljøpåvirkningen?
