Plastic Is On The Menu

 

Prince Charles warns that 'plastic in now on the menu' due to the amount ingested by fish

 

He said decisive action must be urgently taken to deal with plastic pollution in order to save the world's marine life and oceans, stating that it may not be too late to turn the tide.

 

“The eight million tonnes of plastic that enter the sea every year - through our own doing I might add - is now almost ubiquitous, the prince told a global conference on safeguarding the world's oceans.

 

"For all the plastic that we have produced since the 1950s that has ended up in the ocean is still with us in one form or another, so that wherever you swim there are particles of plastic near you and we are very close to reaching the point when whatever wild-caught fish you eat will contain plastic.

"Plastic is indeed now on the menu."

plastics in the food chain cause a number of endocrine disruptions, leading to mutations and cancers.
