Plastic pollution is a global concern. This research from @SciReports explains the scale of the problem. Let's address it together! #PlasticPollution https://t.co/kYXCJZKjo0
@JohnOberg Hi, fellow vegan here, check the study where this originated, they say it's half of the pacific garbage patch not half of the oceans, fishing is still far more damaging than plastic straws. Let's just get our facts right. It's in the abstract. h
@lucysiegle @RickyBee @climate the digestive system of animals that eat it. Not that it should be thrown in nature. If you look at plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, then foamed plastic (not just EPS) is less than 0.5% when measured by weight. AND
@EcoSenseNow Moore started out as a good guy with Greenpeace. Then he cozied up to Trump, excused 6 January rioters and joined forces with Global Warming Deniers??!!! Now he denies the Garbage Patch! See https://t.co/wV6PZqqMy9 https://t.co/uAXkmTOFy

@DavidGo07078916 @Bigrig_North Indeed. EPS is less than 0.5% of the debrief floating. It is not part of the 70% on the ocean floor, and it doesn’t entagle and if eaten does not cut intestines https://t.co/n4J1t3QluG

Also, how much would the "predicted at least 79 (45–129) thousand tonnes of ocean plastic are floating inside an area of 1.6 million km2" increase ocean temperatures since plastic is a great insulator? That is a lot of area it is covering. https://t.co/GT
