Flossie and the Beach Cleaners have been highlighting the hidden harm plastic pollution causes through a ‘rubbish exhibition’ ahead of Plastic Free July.
The marine charity, which aims to educate people about its impacts, says “plastic pollution releases toxic gases once in the sea and can accelerate climate change”.
It can also kill marine life and enter the food chain when microplastics are swallowed by species that end up on our plates.
