Discussion: Marine Debris, also known as marine trash is man-made waste that is released into oceans and coastal waters due to human activities. Marine debris brings up many environmental problems to both humans and the marine ecosystem. According to Ocean Conservancy (2014), the common types of marine debris collected include cigarette butts, food wrappers, beverage bottles and cans, plastic bags, straws and glass bottles. Although these wastes seem to come from offshore activities, studies suggest only

animals of the ocean, some fish may get stuck inside the bottle and die because of hunger, others may eat broken glass and bleed out because in damaged its organs. If you eat a banana at the beach or any kind of fruit, there's no problem, this is biodegradable, this cannot hurt the ocean or the marine species, also this degrades so fast that it's still not dangerous

The movie shows plenty of micro-plastic and non-biodegradable fishing gear are collected in the patch – that

health especially due to long decomposable nature of the polymers. 50 billion of waste water bottle generate every year in worldwide and expected to increase (Amit G et al., 2012). This is the major issue in many developing and under developing countries to recycle and reuse waste polymers. Besides, due to inefficient and high cost consuming projects, this avoids the process of recycle and reusing so lastly it becomes wastes and goes to landfills. Some will be burnt under uncontrolled conditions that

Since the beginning of civilization, there has always been this question, “Where are we going to put all of our waste?” Well before the late 1800; garbage, which consisted of spoiled food, broken items, and sewage, was simply thrown on to the street.

One particular chemical

is no reason to keep wasting money on plastic, that is just going to end up causing risk to all living things on this planet.

Plastic pollutes the ocean and environment in many ways. Plastic usage is an extremely poor choice for everything and it should be banned because it pollutes air quality for the planet

Transgenesis is an advanced biotechnological technique by virtue of which introduction of new genes to a species belonging to an entirely different species is carried out. The transferred foreign gene is known as a ‘Transgene’. Plants in which the introduction of foreign gene or genes from another unrelated plant or even a different species have been carried out artificially are referred to as ‘Transgenic plants’ or ‘Genetically Modified Plants’. Similarly the animals in which foreign gene/genes

about us? A Classic Titled Rubbish, recently written by Cullen Murphy, and William Rathje is a very interesting exercise in this line of though. This realm of archelogy originated in1973, the study of human waste. This book by Murphy and Rathie follows the pioneered discoveries about what waste tell us about our society, and others. There is a fascinating amount of detailed behavior which can be uncovered, and discovered by sorting through rubbish. Through looking at trash during times of production
