    Well for one thing, plastics that take decades to bio-degrade (rot into nothing) should be replaced. Every time you choose a plastic bag for your groceries you have something that won’t go away for years. The same thing for plastic soda bottles. They last almost forever. In a study not long ago, these kinds of things were found to be the biggest pollutant of our oceans. They interfere with the natural order of everything from birds, to bacteria. There have been for years people who wanted to outlaw most plastics from our lives (the kind we use once and throw away) but the plastic industry has powerful lobbyist in places that urge law makers not to pass any kind of law that would reduce our consumption. Some cities have taken matters into their own hands and have mandated, as one example, that plastic bags be outlawed and people can only use cloth bags to go shopping with. If that could happen on a national level, just that one thing could reduce marine pollution greatly. All soda used to come in glass containers, as did milk. You turned them back in to get money when you bought more soda and milk. (it was called a deposit). All beer and wine is sold in glass containers by the way, so why can’t we go back to that? If you could get a movement going like that, go for it. Randy

    That is because there isn’t much to be done. Most of the pollution comes from poor people trying to make a living at agriculture and recycling toxic things like old ships and used electronics. The only true answer is business could give everything over to their society in true communism and let everyone share equally the profits and labour. i_am_the_fig
