My name is Ravi Koranga and I’m a 24-year-old artist from India. I decided to create a theme I felt is so important to understand, posting what’s happening in ocean depictions every day of Inktober.
My conceptual art series shows a tiny scuba diver wandering through different ocean-facing scenarios which depict how much destruction is caused by plastic. And my illustrations don’t end with Inktober. Big Companies like Coca-Cola, Pepsi co, Nestle are targeted through my art, which raises the question – Why does Marine Life and the Ocean have to suffer due to the Consequences of their Endless Plastic Production and why we must stop consuming these products. Each piece of artwork has informative knowledge. Make sure to check them out.
So if you’re looking to support cleaner oceans or are in favor of the plastic ban, check out my art below. It will surely show you the importance!

Husky
73% of all beach litter is plastic.
This is just sad 😞. People should know better than to do things like this. It nice to enjoy a cold drink at the beach but you have to throw away your trash. Please, people, learn to care about the environment
Legend
Plastic is found in pretty much every layer of the ocean column and approximately 95% is actually found on the ocean bed. In some places, the ocean bed is over 10 kilometers deep, and it is very difficult to reach those depths.
Build
More than 90% of sea turtles have consumed plastic.
Snow
Even glaciers are now contaminated with microplastic. Truly, no place on Earth has escaped pollution.
Brainless
Every minute one garbage truck of plastic is dumped into our ocean.
Frail
More than 8 million tons of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year.
Enchanted
We are producing over 300 million tons of plastic every 50% of which is for single-use purposes.
Wild
Plastic is discharged from several different sources. 80% of the waste that ends in the ocean comes from land-based activities.
Ancient
Every year we use approximately 1.6 million barrels of oil just for producing plastic water bottles. Plastic bottles can take up to 450 years or more to decompose in landfills.
Bait
We’re using more plastic than ever. It’s durable, cheap to produce and we’re consuming it at staggering rates.
Being convenient doesn’t mean good. Protecting the environment is much more important
Freeze
100,000 marine mammals, turtles, and 1 million sea birds are killed by marine plastic pollution annually.
Swing
The planet is getting buried under plastic. Companies must put the brakes on the production of more plastic just because hardly 7% of cold drink bottles get recycled.
Add nestle to the big impact list with their mass produced bottles water.
Ring
Plastic is where it shouldn’t be. It’s in the sea and on the beach, and it’s causing harm.
Pattern
We use more than 500 million plastic straws each day. Straws are too small to be easily recycled.
Ash
4.5 trillion filters are littered each year, and just a single one is enough to kill fish in a stream.
Overgrown
There are believed to be 46,000 pieces of plastic in every square mile of the ocean.
Dark
All that soda you're drinking is polluting the planet.
Ride
According to the survey, by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.
Dragon
China produces about a third of plastic waste polluting the world’s oceans.
Ornament
Many marine organisms can’t distinguish common plastic items from food.
Ghost
A plastic bag is only used for an average of about 12 minutes. They can take up to thousands of years to completely decompose.
Sling
About 2 million plastic bags are used per minute, worldwide.
Misfit
An estimated 570,000 hermit crabs have been killed after being trapped in plastic debris.
Tread
Each day about 8 million pieces of plastic pollution end up in our oceans.
Treasure
Drink companies produce over 500 billion single-use plastic bottles annually.
Tasty
Tiny pieces are filling the seas and working their way into the creatures that live in them. That means these ocean microplastics are entering the food chain and, ultimately, our bodies.
Coat
40 percent of plastic produced is packaging weighing around 161 million tons, used just once and then discarded.
Injured
There may now be around 5.25 trillion macro and microplastic pieces floating in the open ocean. Weighing up to 259,0000 tons.
Ripe
We made plastic.
We depend on it.
Now we're drowning in it.
Dizzy
A third of all plastic litter found in the sea is made up of plastic bottles.
Catch
The damage done by plastic and overfishing goes beyond the marine environment. Billions of people rely on fish for protein, and fishing is the principal livelihood for millions of people around the world.
i worked really hard on my series. Hopefully it'll make impact on companies and individual as well. So please don't forget to share so that it can reach more and more people. Thankyou
90%+ of the problem lies with Third World countries and their river dumps. Sadly they're also unlikely to read Bored Panda.
Exactly. I hate to see this self blame environment. We are thaught to be ashamed for using plastics, for driving cars, even for putting lights on. While we are not actualy to be blamed for terrible state of earth pollution.
I have been on countless cruises all over the world and can tell you every single 3rd world country just dumps their trash in their rivers. Using paper straws at Starbucks will not change a single thing! Developed countries don't dump their trash in their rivers lakes and oceans!
I hate humanity.
