Plastic Pollutes the oceans
Fr. Felix Rebello
Every year about 300 billion pounds of plastic is produced in the world and not even 5% of it is recycled. So where does the remaining 95% goes? Well most of it finds safe haven in landfills and the remaining is thrown in the oceans.
It’s a known fact that plastic takes almost 100 years to decompose, but when it’s thrown in the water; the action of the sun, water and temperature breaks it into small pieces which helps the spreading of plastic even more. This is very strange but true, in the middle of the Pacific ocean a circular pattern of water currents have accumulated enormous amounts of floating garbage. This huge amount is often referred as the ‘Eastern Pacific Garbage Patch’. It was discovered by Captain Charles Moore in the early 1990’s and is still growing.
