Why is there an advertisement showing below?

Wave was created to help marine sea life. Over 11 million metric tons of plastic waste enter the ocean each year, thatโ€™s equivalent to a garbage truck full of plastic every minute!

We are combating this by removing as much plastic from the ocean as possible.
