When going to the store and you buy a six pack of any kind of bottles or cans they normally have this plastic holding them together. The name of this device is called a six-pack holder. This plastic is killing animals and people may not even realize that it is happening. It can get wrapped up in bird’s wings. It also can get stuck around turtle’s shells and make them deformed. As well as any other kind of animal that comes along could potentially be in danger of getting tangled up in them. There have been photos of seals with six pack rings cutting into their necks. Not only are marine animals at risk but also land animals. Opossums, raccoons, and skunks are just a few on the list. There is brewery named Saltwater Brewery that has made a change in their product. They have designed the first ever 100% edible six pack ring. These rings are made up of barley and wheat remnants. Katie Dangerfield informs us that “The world’s oceans will have more plastic than fish by 2050”. Dangerfield also discusses “8 million tons of plastic ends up in the ocean each year. That is the equivalent to one garbage truck per minute and at that rate it could increase two trucks per minute by 2030 and four by 2050”.

People will let balloons go up into the air for a loved one that have passed. In all reality the balloons do not go up to “heaven.” They simply pop or just or just float back down to the ground. In some cases, they will end up in our sea or back onto the earth. Even children getting balloons and accidently letting them go is causing problems. Patrick Sciacca notes that “More than 1,248,892 pieces of balloon litter have been removed from the worlds beaches in the past 25 years”. That is just coming from the land. Think about all the balloon pieces that are floating around in our waters. Patrick also informs that “several years ago a sperm whale was found dead from starvation because the mammal ate a Mylar balloon that lodged inside its stomach preventing it from eating”. If a single balloon can starve a whale, the biggest creatures on the planet, then what can it do to all the other marine animals? Sciacca also discusses something that had happened to him. He states, “On a recent trip about 50 miles off New York, I counted two dozen sets of balloons in the one morning. In fact, one arch-shaped group of blue-and-white latex balloons, in numbers too many to count, at first looked like a small boat on the horizon”.
