What exactly is the problem?
- We don't pick up our trash.
- The trash gets into the ocean.
- Baby turtles can get caught in soda rings.
- Marine animals consume plastic thinking it is food.
- This causes the marine animals to suspect it is full, and eventually dies of starvation.

What can we do to solve this?
- Clean up the mess we made
- Do not add to the mess
- Help the animals avoid the garbage when they go to their home.

"We know that the plastic is being consumed by organisms at a variety of scales, from plankton all the way up to fish and larger organisms." Law said.
