THE MOST WASTEFUL!<br />
We’re good at many things in Australia, but recycling and<br />
reusing materials are not among them. Australians throw out a<br />
lot of stuff. Every year we generate hundreds, even thousands, of<br />
kilograms of waste per person.<br />
Waste, including plastic waste, can end up in the oceans. There<br />
is so much plastic in oceans that scientists predict that by 2050<br />
there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean! Sea life can get<br />
tangled up in plastic, eat it, or even be suffocated by it.<br />
