The amount of plastic that reaches the sea is ten times less than previously thought, but that is not good news
The amount of plastic that reaches the sea is ten times less than previously thought, but that is not good news
The 3.4 million tons of polymers floating on the surface of the ocean indicate that the material remains in the water for years longer
The good news is that, according to a new study, some 500,000 tons of plastic — over ten times less than previous estimates — reach the sea every year, according to a new study. The bad news is that this plastic lasts longer than it was believed to, sometimes decades longer.
The headline is misleading as hell. The fact that there is less plastic thrown to de ocean isn't what's actually bad, but the fact that plastic lasts longer (and it would be even worse if the previously thought amount of plastic was thrown)
Do you want to die painless right now or later but in a painful way?
That's what the article made me think honestly
Hopefully some bacteria will evolve, or some other life form that will eat the plastic.
Just take the W my guys
Take the wins where we can get them I suppose.
