Plastic pollution problem

I wrote an article recently on the extent of plastic pollution in the oceans if you want to do more research on this.

thank you, we could plant more trees and use more paper packaging as well. There are so many things we can do to solve the problem we just need to care… than you for your kind words
Absolutely! There are so many things we can do to help. Thank you for a great read!
I hope we can turn things around because the children won’t forgive us easily
They will not remember us kindly for sure unless we do something right now. Glad there are people like you spreading the word. Keep up the good work 😁
your encouragement is valued… thanks again
