Garbage is one of the worst evils of the 21st century, because it complicates other problems in the world, such as the death of thousands of animals. But worse than garbage, it is humans, the real culprits of all this happening. And worse than on land, this is happening at sea, the place where hundreds and hundreds of animals live, many of whom make a living. So the question remains: how difficult is it to throw garbage in the trash?

After reading the article about the plastic pollution in the ocean, I learned how much plastic we throw into the ocean instead of recycling. I found this very alarming. Personally, I do not litter, but in order to make a noticeable difference, it would take more people to not only stop littering, but also pick up trash that has already been littered so that we can start cleaning up the ocean.

I thought the article was very eye opening because plastic has way more of a effect on this world thn i ever knew. I also couldnt belive that whales are eating up to 17 tons of plastic and dying because humans are selfish and wont walk 10 feet to throw away there trash. theres a beach cleanup on september 15th that im planning to go to

I think the saddest part about this is how badly it's affecting the sea life, costing their very lives. It should motivate people to change the current situation of the ocean.

It is shocking to find out the amount of waste being polluted into the seas. I read that switching from plastic bags to a more recyclable one could help the pollution. Another way would be to help out with pollution is helping pick up trash through community service.

The most important thing in our world is the ocean but every single day is affected by the waste that we dump in them every single momment. This isnt only affecting our planet but the animals that live in it , and harming the worlds enviroment at the same time . We can all work together and we can start by recycling and finding better ways to dispose of dump and waste somewhere else

I don't like people hurting any animals. People are just too lazy to throw our their trash as if we don't have a recycling bin or trash cans every 5 steps

Although the article is pretty disturbing, it's more of a relief to know that these kinds of things are happening. Rather then go on not knowing how big of a problem this is and it's overall effects. It's also nice to hear the investments into the problem with how big of a deal it is, and that they are trying.

i just dont understand why everything isnt being recycled into something else instead of just throwing it in the ocean

i think the most upsetting part about this article is that plastic wouldn't be in the ocean without humans littering and overusing plastic.  so basically we created the problem and are not doing enough to fix it

After reading this Article, I was alarmed that 5 huge masses of plastic debris, called gyres goes in to the worlds Ocean. This is extremely bad for our society and instead of making it better, us humans are making it worse.

Buy and wear clothes made of cotton so it doesn't shed off microfibers into the water. Recycle more and Instead of using plastic items find biodegradable replacements. Urge US diplomats to help convince countries like China and India to put more effort into waste management and recycling facilities.

I learned that most of our plastic disposals disappears into the ocean and harms alot of marine organisms and the environment. I think that we as people should pick up our trash and throw it away in a garbage can instead of being lazy and littering, as well as, picking up any other trash we see.

I thought it was a great idea to legalize plastic bags and straws for the safety of the creatures inside our ocean. It was sad to hear about all these beautiful animals being harmed/killed because of the selfish ways humans deciding to litter trash in the ocean. I'll be helping the community's ocean by volunteering to clean the ocean.

It it alarming that we have that much plastic in ocean. Especially how the fish our now consuming that plastic and dying from it. But what was very disturbing is that we might be eating these fish which means we might be consuming plastic too. We should be helping our planet not destroying it and we have taken some actions but we have to make a bigger change.

I think it is horrific how much plastic pollution in the ocean. The article states that "humanity has dumped up to 14 million tons of plastic pollution..." I find this alarming to the marine life in the ocean. These sea creatures are getting harmed and killed because of humanity. There should be more attention around this issue.

I think its disgusting that there is so much trash in our oceans. Many animals are dying due to this and its really alarming. More people should avoiding littering and go to more ocean clean ups.

After reading this article, I learned that the amount of waste in the ocean is a big problem. Sea animals do not deserve to be dying because of our stupid mistakes. We are killing the animals in the planet we live. I know i can prevent this by recycling all plastic and help clean beaches, etc by volunteering for community service.

The most alarming thing I found in the article is that there are 5 garbage patches and the biggest one being the size of Eastern Australia. I would pick up any trash that can possibly go into the ocean and nets should be placed around areas where there is a lot of trash to catch the litter before it spreads.

I think its so nasty that we have so much trash in our oceans. Its alarming that we have 14 million tons!! Right away i can pick up trash i see around so it doesnt drain out to the oceans.

I learned that its horrible to throw plastic into the sea. I can prevent this by not throwing junk into the sea. I can help stop prevent it by telling people "Hey, dont throw that into the freaking ocean"

While the immediate effects of the plastic is slow, longer term can spell massive devastation for the life down in the sea. Without heavy attempts to fix this issue we may see the decline of the ocean even faster than we anticipate.

I think that all the plastic in the ocean is terrible and if this keeps going on then it will cause many deaths of the animals and soon after all of them. It needs to be stopped now its just gross.

I thought that having more plastic than fish by 2050 was the most alarming. I can make a difference by not littering my trash anymore and help pick up trash. Also i can start recycling plastic.
