Anthony WongGroup Admin it is not just the ingestion but that do happen a lot. Fishing lines wrap around marine life and birds to suffocate them. Not only that it also get wrap around our props and cause us problems. We constantly watch for those things in the water. We always fishing those things out.

Hugh Vaughan Plastic is a very useful material. Its irresponsible use by some should not be used to deprive the world of its use. Make and keep rules that regulate its use.

Chris Robinson More education focused on changing behaviour is needed. It’s not that long ago that the thought of buying water seemed absurd and all else came in glass bottles.

Janet Hope Delvaille Very hard in Jamaica because no emphasis is given to recycling. People need a leader who encourages this practice. Instead every single product uses plastic. Oil, vinegar, mayonnaise, bleach, water, sodas etc. We would have to begin from the manufactur...See More

Vilma Ruddock Completely agree with you, Trevor. This is the reason I commented a few days ago that this ought to be viewed as a global public health crisis (as we do for epidemic infectious diseases) and thus a global call to arms by the major public health entities. This problem affects the entire globe. 
As you said, the problem is so massive it hard to imagine where to start. But start we must and requires a multi-pronged approach. Attack the problem from every angle and we will have an additive result. Requires a master strategist with some coordinated master strategies.

Trevor Burrowes Yes. It's one cluster of systems against another. The cluster of systems that produces the plastic is dominant--speed, convenience in a world on the run. Desperation where we grab on to any straw to get us through the day. The most incredible prolifera...See More
