"Our Plastic Oceans" is a very intriguing article. It mainly talks about the pollution that is in our oceans. This articles informs people of how bad the pollution actually is, where it comes from, how it affects marine life, what is being done about it, and how we can fix the damage that we caused. After reading the article, the most important section to me was "Is it affecting marine life?"
"Is it affecting marine life?" is the most important to me, because I didn't realize how much the pollution actually affects the animals. I never knew that the pollution caused the fish to be smaller in size or not as smart as other animals. It was quite shocking to me to read this section, because it informed me of so much stuff. I never realized that the plastic was being ate by whales, and then later causing them to die. So, if the whales are eating the pollution, that means all of the other marine life is, and eventually if we don't stop filling the oceans with pollution, some animals are going to go extinct.
The most shocking factor to me is that even though all of us known how much pollution we are putting into the water, no one is doing anything to stop it. We are continuing to create a large amount of pollution and we are allowing it to go into the oceans. The only thing is that even if we started to clean the pollution from the oceans, it would take years. However, it would be completely worth it in the long run to know that the marine life would be better off.
