Our seas and oceans are getting clogged with marine litter, an overwhelming majority of which is plastic. About 8–14 million tonne of plastic enters our oceans every year. These are spreading across borders, impacting global ecosystems and biodiversity severely through ocean currents.

Meet the future of packaging—bioplastics, seaweed, mushrooms, and more! Nature’s own materials are here to replace plastic’s toxic inconvenience.

India is full of amazing animals and forests—but plastic is spoiling the party! According to Down to Earth, published by Centre for Science and Environment, we dump 9.3 million tonnes of plastic every year—more than any other country! This amounts to roughly onefifth of global plastic emissions. This badly pollutes the air we breathe as most of the plastic garbage is burnt. Our growing love for single-use stuff is making things worse. Can we stop the plastic monster before it grows bigger?

Explore how plastic, oil, chemicals, and even noise are choking marine life—and what we can do to help.

Plastic pollution creates an evolutionary trap for young sea turtles, says a new study. The study is done by researchers from the University of Exeter, UK. The study included 121 sea turtles from five of the world’s seven species: green, loggerhead, hawksbill, olive ridley, and flatback. They found plastic inside juvenile turtles along both the east and west coasts of Australia. Sea turtles usually hatch on beaches and spent their early years traveling on ocean currents...
