In this article "Why plastics and the sea do not mix" by M. Rowland, the author points out that plastic stays a long time, does not disappear and brings a lot of damages to our environment. He shows us that plastic has a big problems, which are that plastic goes everywhere and never goes a way. Therefore, wherever we go, we will be affected by it. He points out that the plastic can increase without showing that and has materials that really do not go away and damage the environment. Next. he claims that plastic cannot mix with the sea because of the chemicals material that just harm the sea. Finally, he points out that global warming is a big issue and is difficult to solve.
It is clear that plastic is a big issue and difficult to solve because the plastic does not ever disappear. The author has good points, and he talked about how the plastic gets in the sea and does not mix or disappear, but he did not mention any solution. So, there are three ways that we should do to avoid plastic problems such as, showing people the problem, using new technology, and stopping fishing.
The first way is to show people the problem that we have been facing because the first thing, getting people attention’s is a great way to solve this issue, for example, show them that we had a bad environment and there are many fish who died from the plastic, and then warn them that if we do not try to keep our environment from this issue we will lose a lot thing. As government we should make a big warning even if it is small problem we ‘d better to make bigger than it is because that will let them care about it, but if we make it small they will ignore it until becomes bigger.
The second way is using the new technologies that most countries have. In these times each country has a lot of new technology and development. So any country can use its new technology to keep the environment from any problem or damage. For example, they can use machines or ships to clean the ocean from the wastes, because most the wastes are not in the deep of the ocean, they are on the level of the ocean and anyone can see them. Therefore, it is easy to take them out with the new technologies.
The third way is to stop shipping for a limited times, for example, stop fishing in the winter is a good way, because the first thing is the fish will increase quickly and the second thing is to let some companies cheak the ocean for the wastes and to filter them. We should do that as any government, because it really will help to keep the environment. For example, if we let people fish all the time what will happen to the ocean? There will be a lot of wastes and the fish will decrease. Therefore, stopping fishing is a good way to protect our environment
In conclusion, we should focus on the plastic waste problem, because it makes us suffer from many things such as the weatherr, the ocean, and the ozone. Therefore, the government should show and tell people the problems that it faces. We should also use our new technologies to protect our environment. As government we should make limited times for fishing. In fact, if everyone cares about the environment, such as food, ocean or anything that is related to our environment then we will have a great life.

Summary Response
In KTVU News " Plastic wastes creating ocean sized Crisis, the author points out that plastic wastes bring a lot of damages in our environment . First of all, he states that any small piece of plastic that falls onthe beach can not disappeare and makes a lot of problems. According to the senior scientist at the ocean, the plastics waste’s damages which are in the ocean go everywhere and never go a way, so wherever we go we are affected by them. Next, he claims that plastic wastes damage the fish, because some animals eat them and after that the fish are eaten by the animals. Third, he points out that if everybody takes his trash from the beach and makes sure there is nothing that can affect it, after that there will be a good environment.
It is clear that plastic wastes cause a lot damages to the ocean. The author has a valid point, because he mentioned several
solutions that are not good enough. In fact, there are three important solutions for fixing plastic waste’s damages such as, hiring people to take care of the ocean, ticketing people who litter the trash, informing the public.
First of all, we should hair many people to take care of the ocean, for example, clean, and take garbage way from there, because we have a lot of people who do not care about the ocean and leave their trash over there, so it is a good way to save the city of the pollution. In fact, each country has suffered from this kind of problem, because it is impossible to make all people good. Therefore, we have nothing to do to keep our environment from these problems except take care of it.
Second, we should give a ticket to the people who litter their trash and do not care abouttheir health, much less their environment. For example, there are many people who do not care or do not like the government, therefore, they try to do anything that could damage or hurt the government, so we do not have a solution except giving them fines or taking them to jail if they damaged something more than three times. In fact, this issue depends on the government's control, because if government has good control of the people it may not have a lot of problems.
Third, we should have discussion with people as government about anything that happens whether small problem or big problem, because getting people's attention about the problems that we face can really help, for example, we can see what people think about the issue that government has to solve and then take the right opinions. This is good because the government may not find a good solution, so we really need to tell the public and have a nice decision.
In conclusion, we should focus on the problem of plastic wastes because it brings a lot of damages to our environment that we could not solve. Therefore, the government should lets some people work on the ocean to clean or superintend the people who leave their trash that contain plastics. We should also give people who befoul the ocean ticket. As government we should talk to the public about any issue that we have to look at their thoughts and do what we think is right. In fact, if everyone cares about the environment, weather ocean or air or food we will have a great life.
