To Save Our Ocean Marine Life

Boyan Slat’s Ocean Clean up reveals a new river cleaning machine Called the Interceptor She intercepts 120, 000 pounds of plastic a day In rivers and streams. Along the same lines 4Oceans is cleaning up the sea Unfortunately, the North Pacific Garbage Patch is a problem Caused by people and companies who put tons of debris into the oceans. It would take sixty-seven ships one year to clean up one percent of this mess. Phytoplankton cleans up oceans naturally, but there are not enough of them. China in particular is guilty of over polluting the oceans. New York is the only state in the USA who still uses the ocean for garbage. What can we do to help? Stop using plastic! Build plastic sculptures, engineer houses out of plastic. 100, 000 million marine animals die each year from plastic waste. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. If you see a plastic truck trying to get to the ocean, Form an army and fire bazookas. Scream and yell. Shake your fist. Puncture the tires. Go get a tank. Do whatever it takes!

Absolutely! And, it is amazing the number of people who are completely unaware of the disastrous problem. Great way of getting the message out, Caren. We must get rid of plastics! I cringe when someone hands me a drink in plastic. Hello, don't you have a dishwasher...hell, I'll wash the glass!
