What impacts does plastic have on the environment and how can we help?

Millions of animals are killed by plastics every year, from birds to fish to other marine organisms. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by plastics. Nearly every species of seabird eats plastics. Most of the deaths to animals are caused by entanglement or starvation.

Explanation:

Plastic pollutes our oceans and destroys animals habits. This is a massive problem as sea animals eat plastic thinking its food, they eat it and think they're full up however they are still hungry and die of starvation. To help we can stop using plastic and use paper bags instead of plastic bag.
