Hey everyone! Welcome to our fourth episode on "Oceans without Plastic" as your host Puja unwrap waste, one layer at a time

​

“Our past, our present, and whatever remains of our future, absolutely depend on what we do now." .

This big blue marble that we call our home, is blue because of the vast oceans that engulf it. Ponds, lakes, rivers, seas - all these water bodies always find their way to an ocean. And all these water bodies together help in sustaining our marine life and ecosystem.

Unfortunately, the truth of our ocean habitats is that there are huge massive piles of plastic waste just sitting in river banks or floating in the middle of the oceans. Going round and round and round in ocean currents, disintegrating into microplastics and finally, showing up inside all kinds of marine species.

We have solutions that can prevent our consumption from polluting our water bodies, we have real life examples of communities showing up for their beaches and we have simple and sustainable alternatives to help protect our oceans. This episode highlight those stories and solution
