Most people wouldn't consider this to be a major problem but it definitely became one, for years now instead of burning all of the trash they throw all of it into the ocean now which creates massive problems.
Remember in happy feet when the king penguin was choking on that piece of plastic? Unfortunately, this is a very real thing that happens marine life all over the world, in the past 2 years they have found dead fish, turtles, whales, birds dead on beaches and shores with pieces of plastic inside of there body that they choked on trying to eat.
Which is extremely sad to see and hear about, the good thing about this problem is that it's an easy fix, simple things like recycling can help from keeping trash out the ocean and also supporting companies like the ocean clean up, but the problem is most people don't take problems like this seriously until it's too late or every beach is filled with trash! If we start helping now, it won't take us swimming by a piece of trash to get to start helping.
Our environment is extremely important and if we let this problem go on it will affect us in ways we didn't think are possible, just think about the earth it 70% is water and 30% is land. If we let this go on, 70% of the earth will be filled with trash that's outrageous. It wouldn't just be a U.S problem it would be an every country problem so we should come together to start helping, a large portion of countries like India and Hawaii have already started to experience trash on there are beaches and with a little bit of help from everyone we can stop this from happening around the world.
