PART B_2

The oceans contain many resources and ecosystems. However, today, the plastic we use every day is having a negative impact on the marine environment. It is becoming a serious problem. Plastic waste that is thrown into the ocean never disappears and stays there for a long time. Sea turtles and other marine life may accidentally eat plastic waste.

Another example is the decline of marine resources. As fish consumption continues to increase, seafood is being overfished. If this situation continues, we may never see fish on our tables again. Let us look at these issues and take action to reduce the purchase and use of plastic products.
