Our oceans are inundated with plastic from our streets and cities. It enters our storm sewers and flows to our rivers and streams then into our oceans. 

Ocean plastic consists of used condoms, tampons, diapers, rags, medical waste, bottles, oil, sanitary sewage, and toxins. This filth breaks down into tiny bits absorbs PCBs and is being ingested by the food people eat. Unfortunately, it is also being taken in by plankton the beginning of the food chain and producer of most of the air we breathe.  It has taken billions of years for phytoplankton to create all life on earth and in my lifetime it has decreased by 40%. As plankton goes we go.
