Trash Island

in #new6 years ago

Garbage Island, as soon as they do not call this giant garbage island, which grows at a huge pace. The garbage island has been spoken for more than half a century, but practically no action is taken. In the meantime, irreparable damage to the environment is inflicted, whole species of animals are dying out. There is a great chance that there will come a time when nothing can be fixed .. So, more about the problem of ocean pollution read below

In addition to the topic of the most polluted cities in the world, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with one more egregious case of environmental pollution.
Pollution began from the time when plastic was invented. On the one hand, it is an indispensable thing that has made life easier for people. Relieved until the plastic product is thrown away: the plastic is decomposed for more than a hundred years, and due to ocean currents it stumbles into huge islands. One such island, the size of more than the US state of Texas, floats between California, Hawaii and Alaska - millions of tons of garbage. The island grows rapidly, ~ 2.5 million pieces of plastic and other debris are dumped every day from all continents into the ocean. Slowly decomposing, plastic causes serious damage to the environment. Birds, fish (and other inhabitants of the ocean) suffer the most. In the stomachs of fallen seabirds, syringes, lighters and toothbrushes are found - all these things the birds swallow, taking them for food
