Just over a hundred years ago,
00:00:03.004 --> 00:00:05.068
we invented a wonderful new material
00:00:05.076 --> 00:00:08.878
that could be moulded
into all kinds of shapes.
00:00:08.096 --> 00:00:10.997
And we took great trouble to ensure
00:00:11.008 --> 00:00:14.152
that it was hard-wearing, waterproof,
00:00:14.024 --> 00:00:16.038
and virtually indestructible.
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:19.832
Now, every year,
00:00:19.092 --> 00:00:24.001
we dump around eight million
tonnes of it into the sea.
00:00:26.088 --> 00:00:32.997
Here, it entangles and drowns
vast numbers of marine creatures.
