Chapter 6

In this chapter of Garbology, I found it interesting because of the tiny nurdles that are in our ocean. I found surprising how the pieces of plastic debris is approximately twice the proportion of Texas. Humes introduces Miriam Goldstein, she conducting a research for the plastic that is spread around the 1200 miles of ocean. I was shocked to know that half the oxygen we breath contains phytoplankton. It worries me that one day i will go to the ocean and not see the clear blue water. i was surprised that bites of plastic were seen in jellyfishes since there are transparent. In the book, i reflected when i read "take a moment and scan the room you're sitting in," as i looked around the majority of things in my room contained plastic. Another thing I found interesting was that for every eight grams of oil a bottle of ketchup is created. trash keeps increasing and many of it finds its way into the ocean, we need to diminish our waste.
