Detergents and industrial chemical used in our homes and factories make their way into the oceans from our drains, toilets, and sewage treatment plants. Fertilizer, pesticides and sewage find their way into streams and rivers and then the sea. This toxic oceanic soup has been accumulating for decades, affecting the fertility and health of sea animals – not to mention human health when they end up on our plates.
Healthy oceans need change on every level. Meanwhile, let’s be the change we wish to see. Say ‘yes’ to non-toxic cleaning chemicals, organic fertilizer, and natural pest control and stop washing non-biodegradable materials and chemicals down drains.
