  1. Samer, Henrique: We`re fighting a lose battle, because nobody wants to stop using plastic and no one thinks when they throw away a plastic thing, nobody takes this problem seriously.
    Every one want the ocean clean but no one want to change themselves.

  2. I'm very worried about this topic,it is a big problem. I think it is happen because people in the world is impolite and ignorant. For to solve this situation it is important to teach in the schools about environmental education and to show the consequences about plastic junk on the see

  7. I personally think that this might be a great war which is hard to fight with. Yes, I totally agree that we can do something to deal with this problem but eventually It could be only just a little bit better. However, the way to solve this problem is unlikely to be founded ( I'm not pessimistic but look at those junks ! It's unbelievable ) Another reason that it could prove the thing as I mentioned above is we all produce loads of household garbage everyday and we can't do nothing with that because we have to eat , to live. To be a little bit optimistic , the government can promote or create some policy to make their people avoid to throw their trash into the river or the sea but there are still have lots of waste that we have to deal with all around the pacific ocean which the rubbish is still be out there somewhere.

  8. It would be appropriate to replace the plastic bags with biodegradable ones, but I think it would never be enough.
    Amount of plastic is actually the most of rubbish product.
