This photo shows plastic collected during a beach clean-up, showing the scale of pollution on our coasts. Every piece of plastic was discarded and ended up in the sea, harming marine life and ecosystems. Plastic can take hundreds of years to break down, affecting both nature and people. When it breaks down, microplastics are very difficult to get rid of. This image reminds us that our choices matter. By reducing single-use plastics, disposing of waste responsibly, and joining clean up efforts, we can protect our beaches, and the wildlife that depends on them.
