A Floating island of Trash in the Pacific Ocean

Nowadays, we can see a lot of garbage floating in the Pacific Ocean. It has bad influence on sea animals and become the cause of marine pollution. Now, what can we do for solving this problem? In the video, I saw a lot of different kinds of garbage that plastic bottles, filters of tobacco, cans, newspapers, and so on. These stuffs must be come from lazy people. They need to change their own behavior and take their responsibility. Furthermore, I think there are not many trash cans around us. This is one of the causes too. Also, the problem of marine pollution cannot be settled by making a law because the pollution of chemical substance is not visible directly. Based on these causes, I think both the consumer and the producer need to improve consciousness to consider environment together, and need to review about mass production and mass consumption society. Therefore, company curbs production and the use of plastic and should try for the development of the product which is good for environment. On the other hand, consumers should change their living environment which is dependence on plastic.
