Plastic pollution is a widespread problem affecting the marine environment. It threatens ocean health, the health of marine species, food safety and human health.
Shockingly At least 14 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean annually. Plastic debris makes up 80% of all marine debris from surface waters to deep-sea sediments. The most visible impacts of plastic waste are the ingestion, suffocation, starvation and entanglement of hundreds of marine species. Plastic breaks down into microplastics (particles smaller than 5 mm) or nano plastics (particles smaller than 100 nm). Fish, mussels, prawns and all marine life can accidentally ingest these small particles mistaken for food. Humans, inturn, eat the fish …
“We eat what we do not recycle.” DadosPuntoCero
Spanish street artist DadosPuntoCero DA2 ‘Sea of Plastic Series‘ murals is creating much-needed awareness and conversation on the excessive use of plastic pollution in the oceans. The murals are a visual warning to alert humanity to the devastating effects of plastics, an encouragement to recycle and greatly reduce plastic waste, stop one-use plastics and motivates us to rethink plastic.
“This series of murals is a call to attention to the citizen who selfishly does not recycle, and with this approach, I want to open his eyes so that from his selfish point of view, he thinks that if he does not recycle, he will finally eat it. It is a very complex problem to face, the pollution of seas and oceans, but the sooner we contribute our grain of sand, the sooner we create a mountain.” DadosPuntoCero

Microplastics are one of the greatest manmade disasters of our time. They are everywhere – from remote places with no human habitations for hundreds of miles to the food on our plates and the water we drink. Even in our blood. We are what we eat …
