Ocean and Beach Plastic Debris is a Problem - Even in Alaska
- "The national park from which we removed one ton of trash per mile is frequently visited by tourists, who don’t want to hire planes and guides only to find garbage. In this not-remote place, plastic causes harm and suffering. Before it gets ashore, it causes harm and suffering to seals, turtles, fishes, and seabirds who die from tangling in it and from the consequences of eating it and who feed it to their young." - excerpt from article by Carl Safina at Tale Environment 360.
