Our Plastic Oceans - Brittany Fulcher

I'm just gonna do the second possible response question, and discuss a move made by the writer that I believe is interesting and explain it.

     In this article, the writer makes a paragraph dedicated to how plastic pollution could be a risk to human life, not just marine life. This is a smart and strong move made by the writer because if people believe they are being affected, not just animals, they will open their ears and start listening. Even with his or her's evidence not being clear, just the words humans and risk together will catch people's attention.
     Plastic is not just a risk to marine life, humans are at risk too. According to evidence given by the writer, 83 percent of the worlds drinking water is contaminated, and 93 percent of the water contains some plastic. It might not be doing anything to humans now, but it could cause some kind of problem in the future. No one pays attention to that though because it has not been advertised like the effects plastic pollution has on oceans and marine life. It was never even intended for plastic to cause this much of a problem. Now it is everywhere and no one knows what to do about, not really anyway.
    Maybe if it is brought to people's attention, the progress made to solve the issue would be further looked into or worked on faster. The writer gave information on what he or she knows about pretty much everything to do about plastic pollution. Maybe since they included the risk humans could face, more people will do the same and something will be done. That is why I believe it was a smart move to include that paragraph in the article.
