Plastic doesn't just go away and it affects the most vulnerable. Every year, over 1 Million marine animals die because of Ocean Plastic Pollution.More than 1 million seabirds and 100,000 marine animals die from plastic pollution every year.100% of baby sea turtles have plastic in their stomachs.Every day around 8 million pieces of plastic makes their way into our oceans.8 billion tons enter our ocean every year.Plastic packaging is the biggest culprit, resulting in 80 million tonnes of waste yearly from the US alone.500 billion plastic bottles are used every year – Meaning there are 66 times as many bottles as there are humans on the planet.Less than 15% of those bottles are actually recycled.A plastic bottle can last for 450 years in the marine environment.And the problem is getting worse rather than better. Scientists expect that by 2050, there will be more plastic in our oceans than fish.Our younger generations especially are no longer accepting that they have to grow up in a polluted future. So it is up to us to teach them the skills they need to solve tomorrow's problems.But Shore Buddies is here to help!Over 1,00,000 bottles kept out of the Ocean by 2020Toy of the Year 2021 nomineeIt takes\u0026nbsp;6x Bottles to make 1x Shore BuddySocial Impact, Public BenefitingShore Buddies is a social impact, public benefiting\u0026nbsp;company with a triple bottom line.:ProfitPlastic convertedKids educatedWe are mission driven and operating the business on an all Stakeholder approach.
