An estimated 51 trillion microplastic particles now pollute our oceans—about 500 times more than the stars in the galaxy.

This mounting crisis threatens marine life, food chains, and human health, underscoring the urgent need to cut plastic production, improve recycling, and protect ocean ecosystems before the damage becomes irreversible.
