Ever heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? It’s virtually island, spanning over three times France’s area, and guess what it’s made of. Plastic! And that isn’t all, there are tonnes of plastic scattered through all the other oceans, doing their worst. In fact, every year, we let over 8million tonnes of plastics to pollute the oceans. These plastics can absorb pollutants and release them in the water, polluting the oceans and making them unviable for the survival of marine lifeforms. Moreover, ocean currents carry these plastics to far-off places that would otherwise never know the word “plastic”, and that is why they’ve been found in places like Antarctica. This could cause harm to penguins and the generally fragile fauna of the icy continent. Don’t you think it’s our responsibility to stop polluting oceans with plastic?
