      It’s hard to tell if humans will stop polluting the worlds seas and oceans. We definitely have the means. There are environmentally friendly alternatives but it’s often cheaper to pollute. If we can overcome our greed we will be able to protect our rivers and seas.

      Rivers we can certainly do something about. The sea I am less optimistic about. I think every company that makes and uses plastics should be responsible for it. We can encourage consumers to recycle by placing deposits on all containers.

      This is a particularly sad video if you have not seen it.
