Question

   We are used to seeing plastic all around us. From bags and bottles to toys and toothbrushes,plastic things fill our homes,schools,and offices. But what happens to these things when we are finished with them?

   In the United States,recycling centers receive tons of plastic every day. Experts say that does not stop plastic trash from polluting the sea. Plastic can end up in the ocean if the wind blows it there or if people litter. wThe ocean is getting worse everywhere,"says Charles Moore,an expert.

   In 1997,Moore traveled from Hawaii to California by sea. On the journey,he discovered a huge “island” in the Pacific Ocean,The “island” was mostly made of plastic trash and it was twice the size of Texas. It became known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Moore has been watching the “island” ever since he found it. “It's 100 times worse now than it was then,” he said.

   All this plastic in the ocean puts sea animals at risk. Animals can become tangled(使纏結(jié)) in plastic. They can also take pieces of plastic for food by mistake. aThe plastic makes them feel full,but they’re not getting any good from that,"says Jambeck,another expert. “They usually storve to death(餓死）.

   The plastic problem doesn’t just appear in the Pacific. Each year,more and more plastic ends up in all of Earth’s oceans. If we continue with business as usual,says Jambeck,the plastic in the sea will double by the year 2025. But there are things we can do to stop it. Jambeck suggests choosing reusable things and picking products with less packaging Moore says ,“It's everybody's problem." But it's one we can all help eliminate.
