Simple question before I head out to work. Do you believe in overpopulation, do you think it's a current problem or a very near future one, and what label would you use to identify yourself overall?
It's likely our biggest problem. They're not being 100% truthful as to why we need to control our borders. Perhaps the biggest reason is over-population.
False crisis. The challenges of the future will be about the opposite.
Nonsense.
This Is The Deadly Ocean Plastic Pollution You Never Hear About | HuffPost
While cities and businesses across the country move to cut down on
ocean pollution by
banning plastic straws, there’s an even bigger
plastic crisis devastating marine ecosystems ― and most of us aren’t aware of it.
Each year, millions of tons of plastics end up in the oceans. Drinking straws are thought to make up
less than 1 percent of that debris. By comparison, commercial fishing fleets lose or abandon more than
700,000 tons of plastic nets, lines and traps ― an estimated
10 percent of the plastic waste in the oceans and seas.
Known as “
ghost gear,” abandoned fishing items can be practically invisible in dim, underwater light, and each year they entangle and kill millions of marine animals, including sharks, dolphins, seals and turtles. The plastic these nets are made of will linger below the surface for hundreds of years, slowly degrading into small fragments and becoming
part of the food chain. What’s more, there is no registry for fishing gear like nets, so ghost items can’t be traced back to the owner, allowing commercial fishers to escape accountability.
And yes we could do something about this but that would require regulations and we know how you Republicans feel about Regulations.
“There needs to be a global registry of fishing gear. When the fishing communities buy their nets, it is logged and registered, and at the end of the useful life of the gear, they are responsible for returning it for recycling,” he said.
