The 3.4 million tons of polymers floating on the surface of the ocean indicate that the material remains in the water for years longer

The good news is that, according to a new study, some 500,000 tons of plastic — over ten times less than previous estimates — reach the sea every year, according to a new study. The bad news is that this plastic lasts longer than it was believed to, sometimes decades longer.

    I mean, it’s still a very concerned amount of plastic reaching the oceans. There should be no plastic there, or close to none.
