ShHe starts by saying that plastic pollution in oceans kills so many animals; however, the solution is in our hands by picking up our garbages.   the sSecond issue that is Parker is corncerned about is microplastics which pass into our and other living beings tissues'. (briefly state why this is worrying.) As the a third problem, the author analyses that these plastics have begun showing theirs darksides when some global companies manufacture millions of disposable bottles. She He says (pick a reporting verb that makes the author's attitude clear like "warns") that those amounts are so enormous that managing their wastes is are very tough. Moreover, in some Asian countries have consumed fabricsted the half of the World's plastic waste, but unfortunately they have no recycling/managing collecting systems. After all these, the author describes us how hard it is to protect prevent the world form plastic pollution by using an example of Manila beach (focus on what is significant about this beach?). Even though some organizations collect tens of thousand garbage, people pollute there exactly the same way. Finally the author concludes her article again by drawing our attention to the plastic wastes that we should do something beneficial for our world like collecting our wastes and producing less plastic. Otherwise our oceans will be completely full of plastic with their marine creatures, not a clear sea water.

The writer suggests to raise an awareness to fight against the plastic pollution as a solution. She starts by highlighting the fact that eEven though plastic was invented really short time ago, the amount of plastic that had been produced was significantly high.
Parker highlights the fact that no one is denying that there is a plastic pollution issue. She thinks that every one and part of community is capable of picking up garbage, at the same time she criticizes people who are not taking act on it. Moreover Parker is concerned about her idea by stating, micro plastics are breaking into small pieces in the oceans, which leads to more polluted water (and you need to state the health issues plastic may cause). One of the biggest reason why plastic pollution is life threatening,could be global international companies production. She believes that the solution of the problem could be by raising public awareness about to the issue, and convince people to take an action on helping to reduce the plastic pollution damage that could be caused by human's actions. To conclude, Parker's thoughts against plastic pollution are towards hopeful  neutral (when the author is neutral, s/he simlpy talks about both positive and negative aspects of one issue, but here Parker believes we can create a change by taking some action). Although, sShe believes that humanity can save their own world, by simply warning and raising awareness of to each other. At the end, plastic or the planet?

The author first claims that when the plastic breaks down into smaller pieces it leads to environmental wastes. The author gave the seafood as an example when polluted ocean is filled with microplastics. These microplastics are being transferred into the human being body when he eats it (microplastic is not the first supporting idea, you have to follow the author's order of ideas.

The author suggests By raising awareness and teaching people how to recycle mismanaged plastic waste  can be effective. (this is not the first supporting idea, you have to follow the writer's order) Meanwhile,  ocean plastic causes to kill millions of marine animals. Smaller sized marine species to bigger sized, from zooplankton to whales unfortunately eat microplastics. Plastic problem is not as complicated as climate change. Therefore, problem of plastics is more visible and people know how to deal with but climate change discretely can not noticed (this supporting idea should be come before microplastic).She illustrates the global companies which produce the most plastic and some Asian countries the most plastic. Conclude by restating the writer's main argument.

Thank you for the task, but the order of the supporting ideas is problematic. You need to use linkers ad reporting verbs so that the readers can follow the ideas you summarize.
