Actions To Stop Further Ocean Destruction From Plastic & Other Garbage

     The daily entry into the oceans of thousands of tons of plastics, styrofoam, and other oil based non biodegradable materials are killing the oceans and wildlife. And yet the will is lacking to do anything significant, including the following:

1.  Pressure food corporations and other companies to change their packaging materials or at least reduce the harmful impact of their packaging materials and wrappers.
2.  Devote more research and resources into creating affordable biodegradable packaging materials.
3.  Reduce the use of styrofoam materials.
4.  Reduce the use of disposable plastic materials.
5.  Eliminate completely all styrofoam cups, plates, and other one time use disposable styrofoam products.
6.  Assist developing nations in properly disposing of their garbage.
7. Develop better waste management practices that are implemented everywhere, including in poor nations, in that garbage entering into the oceans is a worldwide problem.

    There are many things people can do on their own without having to rely on often worthless organizations, including one or more of the following:
1.  Help coastal communities and other communities in the third world that lack the resources to remove garbage.
2.  In the developing world, pick up trash and properly dispose of it.
3.  In the developed world, pick up trash and properly dispose of it.
4.  Clean up coastal areas and make sure they are free from trash, including plastics, styrofoam, fishing lines, hooks, damaged fishing nets, tires, bottles, and so forth.
       The simple act of picking up and removing plastic, styrofoam and other trash is important.
       Cleaning up trash is not glamorous. It is straightforward and necessary.
