RE: Plastic waste in the ocean has been found to have a twentyfold increase of disease in corals; adding one more threat to the list of things that could potentially kill corals

in #nature7 years ago

All this plastic pollution is a tragedy. The "good" news is around 90% of the pollution originates from ten rivers. In theory, it should not be too hard to fix this problem with regulations, and perhaps giant recycle plants covering the exit into the ocean. Plastic can be turned into oil, which should serve as a good incentive to fund this project.

Yeah, that is actually pretty good news if we are able to find a way to actually stop it from reaching the ocean from these rivers. It will be very interesting to see if anyone is able to actually creating a plastic recycling plant at one of these rivers at one point.

I got my hopes up! Perhaps they can build a more advanced version of Mr. Thrash Wheel.

on a less serious note... OMG it has #GooglyEyes!

Haha, wouldn't that be something? :)
