Like if a fish were to eat some plastic it could choke or die from ingesting it because of what it's made out of. The main purpose of the video was to show off the beauty of the ocean and what it could look like with no trash. They even start the video off with Kelly gazing off at the sunrise reflecting off the ocean and they did this all because they’re there trying to lighten the atmosphere of the video and bring positivity into it.

The Ocean Conservation organization found out that there is approximately “eight million metric tons of plastic waste that flows from the land toward the ocean every year”(Ocean Conservation). What they found out from that findings is that by the year 2025 for every one ton of fish there could be three tons plastic floating around in the ocean
