Question

My opinion is we need to eliminate single use plastic and styrofoam. Recycling isn’t enough. We need to reduce and reuse.

Answer

I mean I'd throw a fishers net out there, and fish it out till it's cleaned up.. the trash is already there.. you can't undo what's already there without addressing that issue first and foremost.

Answer

i think that instead of excessive jail sentences, certain offenders should do extensive community service especially in trash cleanup. whether it be in parks, beaches, the ocean, etc. and i do agree with you. these issues can be fixed but only if we don’t let it continue to happen. we sell frickin peeled fruit in plastic containers, fruit that has a NATURAL barrier and then sell it for more because it’s more “easily accessible” for the consumer. we use chemicals to make products that will never break down, just build up until the earth falls apart. what we should do is stop caring so much about the money and start with baby steps such as reusable straws, hemp instead of plastic, etc. something needs to be done.

Answer

Plastic water bottles shouldn’t be allowed to be produced. That’s a small and real simple fix.

Answer

I agree. We need start eliminating these single use products. Cleaning this up isn't a solution if we're just going to continue dumping more plastic into the ocean.

Answer

Just so you all know, there is plastic absolutely EVERYWHERE in the oceans. You may say no, why don’t I see it? It is MICROPLASTICS. They are small enough for plankton to eat. We need a lot more than fishing nets to clean it up. And while there are big pieces of plastic, they are not all necessarily grouped up like that. They are scattered around in the water and the ocean floor. A net doesn’t solve that problem.
The problem with a lot of the ideas that people come up with to “solve” the problem is that not only are they not completely safe for wildlife, but they only clean the plastic out. They don’t figure out what to do with the plastic, and they don’t keep the problem from happening again. It’s a sad loop.
Besides all of that, you have plastic in you already. We have destroyed our (originally beautiful) planet so completely that we are killing ourselves.

Answer

So if we go and collect it all..... where would be put it? The land is also polluted.

Answer

There's a few environmental nonprofits and small groups that try to clear it but it wont do any good as long as people keep polluting. 
There are no enforced and consistent international rules on dumping. 5 Asian countries are responsible for more ocean waste than all other countries combined. No one stops them from polluting
Also, its completely allowed for fishermen to loose li e and not try to retrieve it. Naval and cruise ships also dump their waste straight into the ocean 
We need enforceable global laws on this

Answer

It could be cleaned but what’s the point if plastic products aren’t being banned and done away with? Plus honestly biodegradable products and other eco friendly products are really expensive so I feel like not everyone would have access to them

Answer

Dumb question, but are any organisations working on cleaning that up?
