Ocean Plastic Pollution

One of my snide and ignorant readers sent me the meme here, to which I respond:

Yes. The world is reducing plastic pollution as fast as possible, because every decent person on Earth finds what we’ve done to our oceans to be unconscionable.

In some cases that means banning single use items. In others it means developing plastic that biodegrades at the rate appropriate to what it contains.

There are currently 4 trillion pieces of plastic in our oceans.  If the photo below doesn’t upset you, that says something about your character as a human being.
