The heartbreaking images of animals suffering due to our negligence and the devastating impact of landfills on our oceans are a stark reminder that we are failing not only ourselves but also future generations. It's time for us to say, "Enough is enough."

These seemingly insignificant items contribute significantly to the 300 million tons of plastic waste generated globally every year. This waste ends up in landfills or worse still, in our oceans where it poses a grave threat to marine life.
