In the past, plastic garbage was brought into the sea by ships. Plastic debris enters the sea through rivers and streams. Thousands of marine life animals are endangered by plastic debris. If plastic waste is added at this rate, the total amount of plastic waste in the world will increase to 53 million metric tons by 2030.
