The effect of single-use plastics on the Sargasso Sea

I just came back from the Bahamas and one of the things I remember seeing were tiny bits of plastic bottles and toys on otherwise pristine beaches. It was jarring because the environment was so beautiful and yet there was plastic trash occasionally found on the shores. It made me sad.

National Geographic and director Justin Lewis made this short film about plastic on a speciifc body of water known as the Sargasso Sea.
