Where does it all go?

   
 Our plastic oceans, brings more noticeable attention to a major problem. Trash is one of the worst epidemics people are facing today, and to make matters worse, it isn't getting any better. In the ocean these huge islands of trash are no different than floating landfills.

     It isn’t even just in the ocean! When you drive from Lake City to Jonesboro and you look out the window, you see plastic, tire pieces, and bottles. We’ve finally become numb to how bad it is. Our clothes are made out of plastic and fake fibers which are ending up in landfills, which then go directly to the ocean.

In the article it says that plastic is pretty much indestructible, which is going to make the work of getting rid of it infinitely harder. We can not just keep shifting the blame on other countries, when we all have a part of cleaning the mess we made as a group. what doesn't make since is the fact that only a few select people are working to fix this issue. How is it fair to the animals we are killing because some people don't think it is important to put a bottle in a blue trashcan?

Tiny steps are going to save us. but at least they are a move in the right direction. what happens next is always going to be up to us.
