See What We Have Done with Oceans

in #science7 years ago


The stomach of this dead black-footed albatross chick is filled with plastic objects consumed.

According to some estimates, humans dump 8,000,000 tons of waste plastic into the earth’s seas and oceans every year. This is the equivalent of 5 full shopping bags per foot of the world’s coastline.

Upvoted and Resteemed! Its good to get this image out. Industrial recycling is essentially one giant illusion. That yellow bottle cap in the photo might very well be mine, or yours from one of the drinks we've drunk. Every piece of plastic that we consume will eventually end up in the biosphere-- that means places like this bird.

There is a solution though! Ecobricks. I am just starting on steemit and posting more about this awesome personal solution to plastic...

Oh by the way... your photo source is wrong. You should be referencing this documentary

and the work of Jimmy Breenda on Midway island.biologist

How horrible!! It is disturbing to see this :( Thanks for sharing..Even though I don't litter, this saddens me..SUNSHINE247

it is very sad and we should be shame of this. Humans is the ultimate destroyer of this beautiful world.

This is very serious issue and we have to look this matter very serious and go for alternate option if possible
