APES Part 2: Post 5

 Plastic is everywhere in our world. In fact, in the last decade we have produced more plastic then there ever was in the entire world before. The greatest problem is that much of the plastic winds up in the ocean and kills animals who mistake it for food such as a jellyfish. It is estimated that 90% of floating debris is plastic. Unforunatley for the animals, almost 267 of ocean species including turtles, seabirds, fish, etc. have been found entangled in plastic or with plastic in their stomachs. Petitions are being sent to the Environmental Protection Agency for a zero plastic pollution limit. Plastic does not belong it our oceans.
