You might want to catch up on those figures, its called the 7th continent because its 5 times the size of the uk and around 400 feet deep of plastic, on average 28 MILLION tons of non halogenic plastic gets into the oceans, its been found 7 miles down...
That might be ok with you, the fact micro plastic is in 90% of all plankton might be ok with you, depends how much you know about PDS chemicals and the effects of those in the food chain. But ultimately it really dosnt matter to you or your generation. Its a recent thing mainly, maybe 20-30 years old, most the real harm in the last 15 years. No disrespect intended but you got what 20-30 years left tops?
Unlikely the problems your generation have caused will kill you, but me.... With luck i got maybe 60-70 years left, i got a wrecked food chain, i have limited resources left, yet i get told by the people who mainly caused the problem that i am delusional.
Maybe your right, maybe we should leave there eah, after all isnt like its going to affect YOU. is it

. Why do you assume waste is ok? Genuine question to help me understand your thinking...Why use more of something than you need?
Why waste any resource? What do you get out of it? How does it make your life better? Personally you carry on debunking 28million tons a year into the oceans, no one is going to change your mind and TBH no one is even trying to. My generation dont waste our time explaining it to your generation, we are busy working out how to deal with your mess. We didnt put it there in the last 40 years we wernt around. I grew up being punished for throwing litter about or not recycling. But then again i got a thing about waste.
Not a tree hugging thing, but a simple truth, where there is much there is money

. While your around I know i got an income

Rename the attached file to pdf, its 5 years out of date, things have got worse, but debunk it, its from nature Journal not some micky mouse journal. But i guess they could be making it up. % years on from that paper ad one thing they got wrong was how bad it would get, it got worse than predicted.
Mods can you delete the file in 1-2 days please for obvious reasons
