Plastic Ocean

I have been reading a lot about the trash accumulating in our oceans. You can too. I'm warning you, it is not light reading. It made me really sad. Did you know that all of the plastic that has been created in the last 50ish years is still out there in the environment somewhere? Plastic is actually the most prolific thing found in the oceans. Plus it kills all of the beautiful things that were there before it by absorbing chemicals like DDT and poisoning marine life when plastic particles are mistaken for food. We all need to brainstorm ways to use less plastic.
