Chapter 5

In this chapter of Garbology, I realized that our ocean is becoming a dump.Many of our plastic debris is landing in our ocean. This problem of our plastic has created toxic chemicals that are in our food chain. This problem can take years to solve because it has increased over time. Plastic has became a cycle in our food chains because lantern fish eat small pieces of plastic later eaten by bigger fish and then by use humans. Its surprises me that Mary Crowley a sea captain wanted to create a project to clean the garbage in the ocean but its time consuming and would be expensive and new technology advances would have to be invented to diminish the debris in the ocean. I was shocked that a "sperm whale died within two years because it had consumed 450 pounds of debris."(119) I realized that over time everything increases because before our ocean was clean, and now its particaly  full of floating plastic many which doesn't sink down. I wonder if garbage will take over and we won't be able to see the pure blue water. I recently went to the ocean and saw around the surface many small pieces of plastic that looked like colorful rocks.
