Pope Francis called the plastic littering in the ocean an emergency
“We cannot allow our seas and oceans to be littered by endless fields of floating plastic,” Pope Francis said.
The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it (Genesis 2:15)
Church of England urges Christians to give up single-use plastic during Lent.
Every human act of irresponsibility towards creatures is an abomination. (Assisi Decleration)
Christians therefore cannot be pessimistic about the future of the world, nor
believe in its periodic disintegration and renewal, both of which would deny (Assisi Decleration)

Garbage patches
The great pacific garbage patch is about 1.6 square kilometres. Three times the size of France
The great pacific garbage patch is just one of 5 in the world
Not all the plastic floats, some of it sinks and invades marine habitats - how would you like it if your house was full of plastic rubbish
There are about 51 trillion pieces of micro plastic in the oceans, thats 12 zeros. It weighs approximately 269,000 tons.
A plastic bottle can last for 450 years in a marine environment, but that just means that it is so small that we cant see it but it never really goes away.
The ocean
74% of a turtles diet is plastic!
