Beyond the Shoreline: Radical Solutions to Eliminate Ocean Plastic

People want to end plastic pollution because it affects our environment, health, and the planet we all share. I see how plastic waste clogs our oceans, harming marine life and disrupting ecosystems. It’s heartbreaking to see animals ingest plastic or get entangled, often with fatal consequences. Not only does plastic pollution threaten wildlife, but it also impacts us directly. Microplastics are showing up in our food and water, and scientists are still studying the potential health risks. I believe people want a future where our beaches, rivers, and cities aren’t littered with plastic waste and where we can enjoy nature without worrying about pollution. Ending plastic pollution can create cleaner, safer spaces and a healthier planet, which is something we all deserve. and can strive for together.
