由于大多数人居住的地方看不见大海或海滩，公众对于这些难看的垃圾，意识水平并不像公园和街道那么高。但在海滩度假时，你会发现那些你不想看到的垃圾。表面看不到的是那些水下的垃圾，还有那些已经分解成小碎片，小到鱼通过腮能够“呼吸”进去，使它成为鱼的一部分。这会导致鱼发炎，当人们(我不是指我)吃鱼时可能也会发炎。我不吃鱼了，因为炎症是糖尿病的一部分，甚至阿尔茨海默氏症也是糖尿病的一种，我不想得这些病。把塑料扔进垃圾桶似乎是正确的做法，但据说，大多数制造出来的塑料仍然和我们在一起，无论是在垃圾填埋场还是海洋里。当分解时，它似乎消失了，但“似乎”是最愚蠢的。一些聪明人发明了机器来收集海洋中可见的碎片，还有一些人找到了将其用作燃料的方法。塑料太受欢迎了，我想唯一能让它停止堆积的方法就是让人们发明一些东西来消耗它。或许，如果沿海城市把塑料清理出去，海平面上升就不会那么严重了？当你考虑把事情搞砸需要花费多少工作和多长时间时，想想如果每个人都去把事情理顺，失业率将会有多低。
Since most people don’t live within sight of the ocean or the beach, there isn’t the same level of public consciousness about unsightly trash there as there is in public parks and streets. But a holiday at the beach can reveal trash you’d rather not see. What it doesn’t reveal is the trash you can’t see that’s under water or that has disintegrated into bits so small that it’s “breathed” by fish with each “breath” they take through their gills so that it becomes part of the fish. That causes inflammation in fish and probably inflammation in people when they (and I don’t mean me), eat the fish. I’m off fish because inflammation is part of diabetes and even Alzheimer’s that’s a kind of diabetes, and I don’t need either one of ‘em. Putting plastic in the trash seems the right thing to do, but they say most of the plastic that’s been made is still with us, whether in landfills or the ocean. As it breaks down, it seems to disappear, but “seems” is the fooler. Some smarties have devised machines to gather visible bits from the ocean and some have found ways to use it for fuel. Plastic is so popular my guess is the only way it can stop piling up is for somebody to invent something to use it up. Maybe sea level rise wouldn't be such a big deal in coastal cities if they got the plastic out ? When you consider how much work and how long it's taken to screw things up, just think how little unemployment there would be if everybody got to work straightening things out.
