How much trash is being littered in 1 year?

Globally, an estimated 11 million metric tons of plastic waste enter the oceans each year, contributing significantly to litter. Additionally, studies suggest that around 2 billion tons of municipal solid waste are generated annually, with a substantial portion ending up as litter in urban and natural environments. This litter not only harms wildlife and ecosystems but also impacts human health and urban aesthetics. Efforts to reduce litter through community engagement and policy changes are crucial to mitigating this growing problem.
