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.
