Fish are eaten all over the world and are good for our bodies when they are raised properly. But how would people feel about biting in to a fish sandwich,knowing that the fish's body was filled with garbage.In southern California,researchers collected about 150 fish and discovered that one out of ten of them were contaminated with plastic. This plastic has gathered together in vast slow moving ocean currents know as gyres. The fish that are typically eating these plastics are smaller fish that humans usually don't eat. So then whats the problem? The problem is that bigger fish that people do eat are eating the smaller ones which contaminates their bodies and are eventually consumed by ours. Scientists also discovered that the fish that had plastic in them,had stomachs that were 9.2% percent filled with garbage and plastics shredded to the size of confetti. There our about five pods floating around the world of plastic in the sea. These pods are not small,not even the size of a small town,these pods are about the size of Texas. It would take years of determination and hard work to clean up the mess,even then,many people say its impossible. I want to know what we can do to solve this problem. Our environment is in severe danger and no one cares. Most everything is about money and selfishness. No one wants to spend the money to clean up the mess. Is everyone going to stop being selfish and pay attention to the problem when they realize that its not just the animals that are in danger,but humanity as well. Will they pay attention then?
