8 Important Steps to Stop Ocean Destruction By Plastic

   This is an important, not all inclusive list.
       1.  No plastic should be produced that is not recyclable.
       2.  Proper waste management must become a global concern. Plastic and other non biodegradable waste pours into the oceans from many countries that lack proper waste removal and disposal. Countries lacking resources for proper waste management must be helped before the oceans are completely destroyed.
       3.  Thousands, even millions of disadvantaged people must be employed worldwide to remove plastic and other trash from coastlines and elsewhere. This can be the largest antipoverty/environmental project the world has ever known.
       4.  There must be penalties for companies that lose their plastic nurdles and other plastic materials into the environment.
       5.  Finding alternatives to plastic and other oil based materials must become a high priority.
       6. Recycling must become a far more serious effort than it is now. There must be penalties and fines for noncompliance, no matter if the noncompliance comes from individuals, businesses or corporations.
       7. Companies that use, manufacture or fabricate plastic or other oil based materials must be held responsible for where their materials end up.
        8. Oil based non biodegradable materials in clothing(polyester, acrylic, nylon,spandex,etc.,) release hundreds of thousands, even millions of fibers when washed and cleaned. The use of  synthetic (damaging to the oceans and other waterways) materials must be reduced, or even better yet, stopped.
