On a boat near Costa Rica, a team of scientists is helping a turtle (海龟). The animal is having trouble breathing, and the team discovers the reason—there is something inside its nose. A scientist tries to take out the object, but the turtle cries in pain. At last, after eight long minutes, a long object is pulled out: It is a plastic straw(塑料吸管).
The video about how the turtle was saved has been watched millions of times on the Internet. It has helped to realize a growing problem: The world's seas are full of plastic. Since 2000, there has been a huge increase in worldwide plastic production, but we recycle (回收利用) less than one-fifth of it.
A lot of plastic waste ends up in the sea. Today, scientists think about
8.1 billion kilos goes into the sea every year. Most of this plastic will never biodegrade(生物降解). This sea plastic hurts millions of sea animals every year. Some fish eat. plastic because it looks and smells like food. "Imagine you ate lunch and then just felt weak... and hungry all day," says Matthew Savoca from Columbia University. In some cases, eating pieces of plastic can even cause sea animals to die.
Plastic is useful to people but this is bad news for sea animals. According to Savoca, "Single-use plastics are the worst." These are things that are used only once before we throw them away. Some common examples include straws, water bottles and plastic bags. About 700 sea species (including the turtle from the video) have eaten this kind of plastic. Luckily, the turtle got saved and backed to the sea.
How will plastic have an influence on sea animals in the long term? "I think we'll know the answers in 5 to 10 years' time," says Savoca. But by then, another 25 million tons of plastic will already be in the sea.
①Scientists have already known how plastic will influence sea animals.
②About
8.1 billion kilos of plastic waste goes into the sea every year.
③Single-use plastics like water bottles can be the killers to the sea animals.
④Sea plastic is a big problem for people who depend on fish and seafood.
