We eat a whole credit card’s worth of plastic a week

The campaign takes an angle that is decidedly close-to-heart for many of us out there, with everyday items used to illustrate the effect that plastics have towards the pollution of our environment.

The video above puts forward some startling facts, highlighting how the average person consumes over 100,000 microplastics a year. This is about a credit card’s worth of plastic per week, a clothes hanger per month, or a whole plastic comb in the period of 3 weeks., you’ll also be able to take a quick test to see an estimation of how much plastic you’re ingesting on a regular basis.

The results were pretty grim reading for me, but that’s the whole point of the campaign. At the end of the test, there’s a landing page where you can choose to lend your support to the campaign, where you’ll also see a message from WWF calling for businesses and governments to work together against the issue.“If we don’t want plastic in our bodies, we need to stop the millions of tons of plastic that continue leaking into nature every year.
