“Today, 13,000,000 tonnes of plastic leak into the oceans every year.” UN says in a statement as World Oceans Day kicked off with concerns over marine life
"Today, 13,000,000 tonnes of plastic leak into the oceans every year, what among other damage, kill 100,000 marine animals annually," the UN says.
This year, the UN General Assembly launched "Play It Out" — a global campaign against plastic pollution that includes a music festival. "From plastic straws to plastic bags, we all are at the frontline of efforts to #BeatPlasticPollution." The UN General Assembly decided that as of 2009, June 8 would be designated as World Oceans Day to draw global attention to the benefits derived from the oceans and the challenges faced by the international community in connection with the oceans.
