Every bird on this island eats plastic

CNN gained rare access to Midway Atoll to see the shocking amounts of plastic that makes its way across the Pacific Ocean and into our food chain.

They don't feed on plastic cap, they use them for digestion as they would use a pebble stone, but if there are no pebbles, they use what they can. But it's not meant to be digested (although in the end it is).

That's why in France we stopped plastic bag in the supermarkets.

It is extremely hard to believe the bird ate all that plastic and could believe CNN is reporting it

[habeeburrahman]

we humans should have to help for this innocent poor birds and animals.

STOP THIS You all care about when your mom, dad, family members die and your home gets taken away from you. But look,
YOUR TREATING THESE ANIMALS LIKE CRAP!!! It makes me so mad! These animals have a home being destroyed, family members being killed. Just because they don’t have a freaking soul doesn’t mean you treat theme like there not apart of this world. You people disgust me. 😭😭😭
