Throughout my research on Plastic Pollution I learned that plastic is a material that our planet cannot digest but it has become the lubricant growth of globalization. Thus, Plastic is made from oil that contains many chemicals harmful to humans and animals. Humans are barely aware that Plastic is so part of our lives that it can be found in everyday products that we consume and even the food we eat. Humanity plastic foot print in the oceans has caused a major garbage path located thousands of miles

Since the introduction of plastics in the early 20th century, waste production inland has accumulated at an ever-increasing rate. Improperly disposing of waste washes through inland waterways, which eventually carries the waste into the ocean. The north pacific garbage gyre spans the majority of the area. The physical gyre stretches from the coast of Japan to California. Four different currents maintain the circular motion of the gyre, which encapsulates large amounts of debris in the center of the

As an introduction, Stone explains what a garbage patch is and how the Pacific Garbage Patch as formed. He then focuses on “Project Kaisei” which was a project set up to test ways of removing plastics from the Pacific Garbage patch and disposing of them safely. They found that the larger pieces were easy to remove, but the smaller pieces posed a problem. These methods included dragging nets and places trash reciprocals need areas with high concentrations of plastic that could be picked up later

Unaware animals, including those way out in the ocean, get a ring of death wrapped around their throat from human actions. Even simple actions like throwing a can of soda into a bush beside the road or in a neighbor’s yard can eventually affect wildlife in the sea. As a whole, littering is basically depositing an item where it does not belong. Although there isn’t a person who hasn’t littered, it needs to stop before it gets out of hand. Surprisingly, some people think littering is okay. This is

responsibility and the demands on the employer for co-ordination of the project. Through the proper allocation of responsibility for the project to reflect these strengths and weaknesses, the employer can rationalise the price of the contract against his exposure to project risks. The employer's first consideration will be to identify the design source, i.e. the person who will develop the employer's requirements for the project into a practicable design. This design

I even like the way group interaction takes place. We usually form a group with people who we are comfortable with and we can get along with and work together in a professional manner. Group projects help me to get prepared to work
