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.
