The amount of plastic that reaches the sea is ten times less than previously thought, but that is not good news - Lemmy.world

The good news is that, according to a new study, some 500,000 tons of plastic — over ten times less than previous estimates — reach the sea every year, according to a new study. The bad news is that this plastic lasts longer than it was believed to, sometimes decades longer.

Hopefully some bacteria will evolve, or some other life form that will eat the plastic.
