The Hidden Dangers of Plastics Pollution for Marine Animals

Whales washed ashore with their stomachs filled with plastic bottles. Turtles choked by six-pack rings.

We’ve seen the dramatic effect plastic has on marine life. But the far-more-common danger of plastic pollution is actually… invisible.

Plastic is by far the #1 risk to our environment and it gets very little attention compared to carbon emissions.

I was recycling plastic faithfully until I found out that plastic is not actually being properly recycled. Those who work in the recycling and waste industry claimed that it’s all thrown together once it’s brought in. Why are we recycling for no reason? People think that they are recycling when it is brought to the waste and just dumped in the same garbage bin, and much of it is sent to Africa too.

If corporations would us glass and paper in place of plastic we would be better off. What happened to returnable bottles? I guess it's easier to blame the peasants

For 20 years. I have dove on the reef off Cancun. And there was never any plastic pollution until Canada started hiring Guadamola to recycle our plastics. Now, the reef is covered . The reefison the route they take to Guadamola, and they dump the plastics that they can't sell along the way!
