A story in the news today concerns healthy, organic baby food packaged in plastic pouches. This is a growing market that adds to the daily plastic poisoning of the oceans. It is part of the continued trend to choose the convenience of plastics over the long term health of the oceans, wildlife and people. Plastics are cheap for consumers and manufacturers, but are extremely costly to the environment. Daily thousands of tons of plastics, stryofoam and other oil based waste enters into the oceans, harming fish, seabirds, turtles, whales, dolphins, other wildlife, and people.
When the day comes in which plastics have poisoned the oceans beyond repair, it will be too late to do anything.
