The Ugly Journey of our Trash is a great infographic showing the devasting effects our litter and plastic waste has on our planet and particularly our oceans.

Key facts include:

• Global annual plastic production has boomed from 1.7 million tonnes in 1950 to almost 300 million
• 250 million metric tonnes of plastic could make its way into the ocean by 2025
• 95% of northern fulmars washed up dead in the North Sea had ingested plastic debris
