Plastic Waste: A World Wide Issue
The world is battling with a big environmental problem, plastic waste. Claire le Guem Lyrtle argues plastic waste has become a world wide problem and people need to do something about it before it is to late, however, people in different countries keep wasting plastic. In this essay, one will explain the plastic waste problem and also talk about possible solutions.
To begin with, Le Guem states about ten million tons of garbage ends up in the ocean each year. ”Plastic is versatile, lightweight, flexible, moisture resistant, strong, and relatively inexpensive” (Le Guem). Wee Kiat Pek confirms plastic waste and in particular plastic containers, such as bottles and disposable plastic bags, are by far the most …show more content…
Feher and Tirdea assert depending on the size of the pieces it can look like a clear plastic soup. Le Guem adds sea vortex areas are fluid and their size and shape change. Le Guem reports that the largest area in the North Pacific is estimated to have attracted 3.5 million tons of debris and covers an area twice as large as the United States. Feher and Tirdea thinks there are five other large swirls in our oceans where waste is also crowded, including one in the Atlantic. Pek admits on the basis of the marine, the debris size and expanse believe marine animals and seabirds thinks garbage is food. Pek emphasizes the invisible part of the debris continues to affect the marine environment’s overall health. Le Guem argues around 640 thousand tons of fishing gear are estimated to have been lost, abandoned or discarded globally. Pek adds larger pieces of plastic can also pose a threat to the marine life. Feher and Tirdea state a lot of species, including seals, dolphins, and sea turtles, can become entangled in plastic debris and fishing nets that have been lost at sea. Feher and Tirdea observe most of the entangled animals do not survive, because they can not get up to the surface to breathe, escape from predators, or
