In the water bodies, they can impede the collective efforts of SDG 14.

When plastics find their way to the water bodies, they don't biodegrade unless when they are in sea water which when they occur, aquatic biodiversity loss is promoted and this can kill some of the kives below water and cause some to move away and when some are unable to survive and they die off, the water bodies is contaminated and no longer suitable for lives to survive there which is harmful to both man and the environment. If we are able to take as many plastics as we can from the streets, they won't find their ways to the water bodies and cause aquatic biodiversity loss.

Water can't go into the ground to promote photosynthesis and this also leads to hunger, food crisis and biodiversity loss. But this plastics when taken away can help us sustain our lands so as to help tackle climate breakdown and climate change but taking them away helps us socially, environmentally and economically.
