Plastic: Harming Animals From The Mariana Trench To Honduras and Everywhere Else

       A large garbage patch of plastic and other non biodegradable trash has accumulated around the island of Roatan, Honduras. It is believed that the trash originated from the Montagua River in nearby Guatemala. All over the world, thousands upon thousands of tons of plastic and other non biodegradable waste makes its way daily into the oceans of the world. The enormous amounts of plastics, styrofoam and other oil based nonbiodegradable contaminants do not leave any part of the oceans unaffected.
       Plastics and other non biodegradable contaminants enter the oceans by a number of ways. Most of it originates from land based sources. Much of the waste enters waterways which lead into the oceans. Trash from many coastal communities and coastal cities often go directly into the oceans.
       The failure to stop plastic and other non biodegradable contaminants from poisoning the oceans will ultimately doom mankind itself.
       100 percent of marine life recovered by scientists from the Mariana Trench, the deepest point in the ocean, were found to contain plastic particles and other synthetic materials in their bodies, including, "Rayon, Lyocell, Ramie, as well as textiles such as Nylon, polyethylene and polyvinyl".
       Over 90 per cent of the world's seabirds have plastic particles inside of their bodies. No one knows to what degree plastics and other synthetic contaminants now reside inside of the bodies of fish, sea turtles, cetaceans, other marine life and animals. A high number of humans have plastic particles, fibres and other synthetic materials inside of their bodies - materials that are virtually indestructible . No one knows at what point these materials sufficiently accumulate to start causing diseases, including cancers.
