Scientists estimate that around 8 million tonnes of plastic end up in the ocean each year. And some environmental organisations are warning that by 2050, plastic could outweigh the entire fish population.聽 So on Science Caf茅 this week, Adam Walton is talking to Steve Ormerod, Professor of Ecology at Cardiff University, about the extent of the problem - and how new habits might ease it.
