The Skip Company

The average household in the UK produces more than a tonne of waste every year. This comes to a total of 31 million tonnes per year, equivalent to the weight of three and a half million double-decker buses, a queue of which would go around the world 2 1/2 times #Recycle #monday

Humans now buy a million plastic bottles a minute. Most of this plastic ends up in the ocean. By 2050, the ocean will contain more plastic by weight than fish. #fact #plastic #ocean #CleanUp #ThursdayThoughts
