Remote island has 'world's worst' plastic rubbish density

This news talks about Henderson Island, an uninhabited island in the South pacific with the world's worst plastic rubbish density. This island has 37,7 millions pieces of debris on its beaches, the reason is because it is in the middle of an ocean current so it collects all the litter that goes into the current.

An Australian and British study said that there are 671 items of rubbish per square meter,of which most of them are things of single-use.

Another study said that most of remote islands are in the same situation as Henderson island. Most of the objects that are found in this rubbish are things that humans throw into the ocean like toothbrushes or cigarettes lighters.

Dr Lavers said that almost every island in the world and almost every species in the ocean are affected by the plastics that we throw.

Personal opinion

I think that this situation has to stop. We have to be conscious that we are not alone in this world, we coexist with animals, so we can't be throwing our trash everywhere because we are polluting their habitats. Also, humans have to live in this world for so many years, and if we don't take care of it, and we continue throwing our waste to the nature, we won't be able to live on this planet.
