IT angers me that we put out that plastic in the ocean for these animals in the first place. These animals do not know any better and we need to fi nd ways to improve these conditions I feel like anything other than changing the way we recycle is just not enough. Especially in these times that global warming is prevalent!

I really hate hearing news like this.  It seems like every time you turn around you're hearing a new story about how the world is killing itself.  I'm not sure I needed to hear about all the specifics as to why seabirds are eating plastic, but it definitely hurts to see that it's going on.  The real kicker is the stat at the end about how pollution is going to rise by 80% in the next six years.

This is incredibly alarming. Humanity is doing irreparable harm to the planet and many of its delicate ecosystems. We can not continue to allow our plastic pollution to threaten the lives and habitats of birds and other marine life. We need greater conservation efforts and sever consequences for those who do not abide by them.

It was very interesting to me to learn how seabirds hunt. The smell of plastic reminds them of the smell of the foods that they eat and they eat the plastic thinking that they are eating their normal food. I hate that the birds and oceans are being polluted by humans so badly. I hate we are not changing and helping the environment.

This is pretty sad for the birds.  I find the amount of plastic in the ocean in general to be alarming, and it's always terrible to see it affecting wildlife.  It is vvery unfair to them really.  It would be like someone coming in and just polluting your house with their trash and there was nothing you could do about it and it started making you sickk.  I think we need to do something about the plastic issue, maybe starting by cutting down on all the plastic we use.
