The ocean produces at least 50% of the🌎's oxygen. It's home to most of Earth’s biodiversity, & is the main source of protein & nutrition for more than 3 billion people.
Despite all this, the ocean is at risk.
Here are🔟things you can do to #SaveOurOcean . #OceanDecade

Only 7.2% of used materials are cycled back into our economies after use.
This has a huge burden on the environment & contributes to the climate, biodiversity,& pollution crises.
The solution? Embracing circular economy.
