Share Your Thoughts on Plastic Pollution: Take a Quick 2 Minute Survey!

We ingest about 5 grams of plastic each week, totaling up to the size of a credit card. Plastic pollution is a global issue and if not properly addressed, will become increasingly detrimental to both the health of humans and the wildlife that ingest it. Over 414 million pieces of plastic, mostly made up of single use plastics such as bottle caps, straws, shoes and tooth brushes, have been found on Cocos, a small remote island in the Indian Ocean. Everyone can bring effective change to reduce plastic consumption and ultimately save our oceans from plastic pollution. Please share with us your thoughts on this type of pollution and how you use plastic.

This survey is available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese.
