Supporting the Sky Ocean Rescue
It is reported that eight million tonnes of plastic is thrown away each year and washed out to sea, which plastic bottles taking an average time of 450 years to completely degrade, damage will have already been caused to our environment, marine creatures and will be seeping into our food and water.
The Sky Ocean Rescue campaign aims to reduce the level of single-use plastic from the oceans. One of the main factors of the amount of plastic used and not recycled is water bottles, which take an average time of 450 years to completely degrade.
At the start of the year, Prince Charles urged businesses such as Coca-Cola to encourage and incentivise consumers to recycle the items in order to support the initiative. The Guardian reported that the Prince of Wales stated it was essential that the public should help towards changing the current environment status.
“If current trends continue, the implications for the viability of the ocean ecosystem on which humankind relies so heavily are stark indeed.”
Prince Charles went on to say that he supported the Sky Ocean Rescue campaign and was hopeful about ‘its ability to win hearts and minds.’ 
In recent weeks, Prince Charles has once again vocalised his views at the ‘Our Ocean’ conference in Malta on saving the oceans from pollution. In an interview with Sky News  he stated that we ‘must manage our oceans in order to avoid total disaster’.
One of the ways that Prince Charles encouraged and is being enforced by the Sky Ocean Rescue campaign is to reduce the use of single plastic such as water bottles. Sky are aiming to remove all single-use plastics from their operations and products by 2020.
