Plastic In Our Ocean
Right now an estimated 12.7 million tonnes of plastic end up in our oceans each year. That’s a truckload of rubbish a minute.
Travelling on ocean currents, this plastic is now turning up in every corner of our planet – from Cornish beaches to uninhabited Pacific islands. It is even being found trapped in Arctic ice.
Our oceans are slowly turning into a plastic soup, and the effects on ocean life are chilling. Big pieces of plastic are choking and entangling turtles and seabirds. Tiny pieces of plastic are clogging the stomachs of creatures who mistake it for food, from tiny zooplankton to whales. Plastic is now entering every level of the ocean food chain and even ending up in the seafood on our plates.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. PlanetsWater is campaigning to end the flow of plastic into our oceans.
We are calling on big corporations to act to reduce their plastic footprint – and stop producing excessive plastic packaging that is designed to be used once and then thrown away.
We are also calling on governments to take action and tackle this problem, by creating closed-loop systems that allow us to recover and reuse materials rather than waste them.
It’s not too late – if we act together now we can protect the world’s precious oceans for future generations.
PlanetsWater distribute globally ‘atmospheric water generators’ (AWG’s) that produce the purest drinking water available on the planet directly from the humidity in the air. The captured moisture passes through a multi-stage filtration process that eliminates any harmful elements and delivers water that is untouched by any ground source therefore 99.9% pure.
There is no need for plumbing pipe work or indeed plastic water bottles as the water is dispensed directly from the AWG device. Therefore dramatically reducing the ‘carbon footprint’ and use Eco-friendly cooling gases. Machines produce from 15L’s to over 10,000L’s of water per day.
Help us stop the plastic ocean contamination that is vastly made up of discarded plastic water bottles by eliminating the necessity of plastic water bottles with AWG technology.
