It's reported that an estimated 8 million tonnes of plastic are dumped into our oceans which can not only have a massive impact on marine life but also can have a seriously damaging effect on humans too.

For example, 70% of the oxygen that we breathe is produced from marine plants, so what affects them is obviously bound to have a knock-on effect on us as well.
