This is scary stuff. Because we don't see it, we don't think about it. How can we as a species help to combat this? I used to work at a plastics and glass recycling company and the stuff I learnt about the amount of plastic that ends up in the sea is pretty horrendous! Apparently there are areas in the sea that are almost like plastic bottle islands just floating on the top of the water, that is shocking! Plastic bags kill so many sea animals because they think they are food (the bags look pretty similar to jelly fish when bobbing around in the sea). Is recycling the answer? Is education the answer? We should be doing more as a species to address this issue now before it is too late!
Some see it but do not really care. Sad affair.
