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
Yeah, I don't get why people do this as well. But also keep in mind that plastic in the ocean can easily be transported from the terrestrial environment to the ocean, so people who throw away plastic bottles etc. in public places are also a big part of the problem.
The oceans do kind of throw it back at us when the plastic waste gets washed up on beaches that are commonly used for tanning and bathing; this forces us to actually do something about it.
These are really good points. Didn't think this way.
Well i don't want to be cruel but we deserve the worst actually, even tho i've never threw away something to the street or ocean in my life but i also deserve this because i didn't do enough to create awareness or making a stand about this.
I love to go fishing with my father and brother on Aegean sea, and i caught plastic bag so many times, a shoe once.
Maybe we should've given more credits to Greenpeace long time ago.
That's a good way to look at it! I agree; when we see beached filled up with plastic we are forced to actually look at the problem, and do something about it. It is too easy to forget about the problem when it's buried deep in the oceans, so it is good that we get plastic beaches!
I totally agree with you but i think even if the beaches are going to be covered with plastics and dirt, i'm sure so many people is going to ignore everything and continue sunbathing or swimming. That's what our world has become.
I imagine people saying "oh this is a sea with a different color,let's swim!" ( after a oil spill). Lol. I'm just sad.
Haha, that's depressing!
