By 2030, Coca-Cola products will account for an estimated 602m kilograms of plastic waste entering the world’s oceans and waterways each year, according to a stark new analysis published Wednesday by the non-profit Oceana.
That is enough plastic to fill the stomachs of 18m whales.
The report arrives amid mounting concerns over the human health risks posed by the spread of microplastics, which scientists increasingly link to cancer, infertility and heart disease.
Six hundred and two MILLION kilograms of plastic PER YEAR am I reading that correctly?
does the math That’s like 15kg/human. An empty 12-Oz coke bottle weighs about 15 grams, so that’s just about 100 bottles per human per year.
You’re really bad at maths
Yep
I see you edited your comment to be more wrong. Your weight per person is off:
605m kg / 8bn people = ~0.075kg per person
So 75 grams, or about 5 bottles per person per year
You’re probably more correct than me, lol~
Line must go up 📈
