Here’s a way that you can take action in the next 5 minutes – and here’s why we all need to take action to help prevent this horrifying type of story!
There is a floating island of plastic garbage, twice the size of Texas, caught in a current gyro between USA and Hawaii. The huge area is filled with plastic which never shows up on satellite.
The huge area of gunk was found by someone who sailed into it by mistake as he was returning from a yacht race. The enormous stew of plastic garbage weighs over three million tons and grows tenfold every decade.
It is so dangerous for wildlife….
Sea turtles mistake clear plastic bags for jellyfish, and eat them. Birds swallow shards of plastic. More than a million sea birds, 100,000 marine mammals and countless fish die each year either from eating the junk or becoming ensnared in it and drowning. Any sort of cleanup operation is virtually impossible as some plastic bottle disintegrate into particles as fine as dust, and the larger pieces become entangled with derelict fishing nets and waterlogged tyres.
There is a major dispute as to who will clean up this mess as it currently lies about a thousand miles west of California and a thousand miles north of the Hawaiian Islands. Any nation that embarks on the cleanup automatically admits that it is responsible, so they won’t acknowledge it……
That story is horrifying enough. However, a vast swirling mass of plastic bags and rubbish has now been discovered in the Atlantic too!
The floating garbage heap – which contains debris blown off the coast of Britain and carried by currents – is a smaller version of the huge plastic island above. Marine researchers who made the discovery say that every ocean is now contaminated in plastic waste. (The findings come from the Greenpeace ship Esperanza)
Now ask yourself a question.
Who put it there in the first place? Who helped to create these massive islands of garbage, that are destroying so much of our environment?
People like you and I, unfortunately. Over the last 50 years, our generation has created this gigantic problem.
And, our generation can now start to eradicate the problem. All we need to do is carry on doing what we are doing, with a slight difference. Instead of using plastic bags, we can switch to TOTALLY degradable bags. Instead of your plastic bags lying around for 1000 years, they will disappear in just a few months……
People like you and I helped create these disasters. So the sooner that people like you and I start to do something about it the better. And the great place to start is by getting some degradable plastic bags.
