Play the Garbage Game! 垃圾急轉彎

Giant garbage patches floating in the oceans, turtles tangled up in abandoned fishing nets and traces of plastics in the flesh of fish eaten by humans: the bandwidth of issues associated with garbage ending up in our oceans is broad. Although the devastating effects on marine animals and the environment are well-known, the amount of garbage and plastic found in our oceans has continuously increased over the years.

由垃圾組合而成的大片偽陸地漂浮在海中、海龜被遺棄的魚網纏繞、食用魚中充滿塑膠微粒……類似而廣泛的人類汙染現象層出不窮，而且，你我對此也並不陌生，但是持續增加的汙染狀況並沒有因為我們已知情而停止或減緩。

Plastic pollution is one of the most serious threats to the world’s oceans. Recent research estimates that between 4.8 and 12.7 million metric tons of (plastic) garbage end up in our oceans every year - a significant health threat to the various sea animals and the entire marine ecosystem (Science 2015(link is external)). 

海洋受塑膠汙染是地球最嚴重的威脅之一。最新的研究顯示，每年有480萬噸到1270萬噸的垃圾進入海洋，對海洋動物與整個生態系統造成巨大的威脅。(Science 2015)

Boehringer Ingelheim established the BE GREEN Initiative in 2011, in order to bundle and centrally coordinate all our environmental activities.

Our activities extend from reducing greenhouse gas emissions and saving energy, water and waste, to promoting environmental awareness and behavior.
