Why is Marine Debris everyone's problem?

 

Everyday, all over the world, people are making so much trash in their daily lives.

   
 

There is so much trash being throw away at such a fast speed that trash disposal systems cannot keep up to take care of them all.

Once in the ocean, trash is carried by ocean currents and can travel from one country to coastlines and beaches of another country across the world.

By ocean currents, some marine debirs travel thousands of miles away from the original countries where they are thrown.
