    This is so sad. The world is in massive trouble. Humans are so destructive.

    Simple solution-quit putting your trash in the ocean!

    Very sad. I really don’t see an end to the damage we will do. As selfish as it is, I am glad I am old.

    I wonder if they throw the trash back into the ocean or if they actually take it with them and dispose of it properly.
