Bonnie Wright has joined the Greenpeace crew aboard The Arctic Sunrise to discover first hand the problems plastic is causing for our oceans.
“I was really saddened to find out how much plastic we found in just a few hours of trawling – small microbeads to fishing line to large pieces of plastic,” she said to CBS news.
Greenpeace estimates that enough plastic to fill a garbage truck is dumped in the ocean every minute. That's a lot of rubbish and I think that we can all do something to change that. It doesn't take a whole lot of effort to reduce single-use plastics in your own life. Simple tricks like bringing your own cutlery and cup when you're eating out and saying no to plastic bags. Really basic stuff.
I think its so wonderful that Bonnie is joining the Greenpeace boat tour because it really emphasises that no one is above the problem of plastic- not even the coolest and smartest witch in the world (tied with Hermione of course ;) )
