The problem....
Most of the marine animals get confused and eat the plastic. After they get sick because it messes up there stomach. There are garbage gyres come together as the trash gets caught in circular ocean currents. Sometimes animal's get caught up in these gyres and starve to death because they cant get out to get food. There are many problems according to UNEP, at least 267 species worldwide are impacted by plastic debris in the oceans.
The solution....
Its hard to solve this problem because many people don't care. Some people do care about our environment. Like the startup company Plastic Bank has come up with a super-smart system that gains awareness for these problems. We could also reduce the amount of plastic use and switch to reusable produces.
