Richmont - Plastic Tides Lyrics

Every ecosystem on earth is affected by plastic
From the land to the rivers to the seas
Plastic makes its journey with ease
From microplastics, to microfibers, to microbeads
It goes wherever it may please
Caught in the winds of oceans Swept along in the tide
It travels to far off lands
Thousands of miles from its source
Then finally washed ashore
On beaches of pristine sands
Plastic waves of polyethylene terephthalate
Polyvinyl chloride
Polystyrene
Polylactic acid
Nylon, rayon
And acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
Food and beverages contain tiny pieces of plastic
For years countries have dumped their waste
Raw sewage
Radioactive-based contaminants And plastics into the world's oceans
Over time, algae and worms Bacteria and germs
Stow away on plastic rafts
Thousands of miles they will drift
To some far off distant shore
Clinging to their sturdy craft
To be finally washed ashore
On beaches of pristine sands
Plastic waves of polyethylene terephthalate
Polyvinyl chloride
Polystyrene
Polylactic acid
Nylon, rayon
And acrylonitrile butadiene styrene
Caught in the winds of oceans
Swept along in the tide
Traveling to far off lands Thousands of miles from its source
Then finally washed ashore
On beaches of pristine sands
On beaches of pristine sands
Beaches of pristine sands
Beaches of pristine sands
