With marine life is laced with plastic (and lord knows what else), the only way to avoid literally eating toxic crap from the ocean is to forgo all seafood. Which sucks, because I like certain types of fish. Then there's the cascading effects of collapsing marine ecosystems, and the unforseen consequences those may have on humanity...

There are problems.
But THIS ONE PROBLEM- is most important.
Your job is to convince others why? Why are the oceans filled with plastic the biggest problem to me or that guy. Or that person?
People got problems. Like real big deal ####ing life and death #### in their families. So you should maybe pump the brakes about plastic in the ocean- and yet it also does not mean you are wrong. But when Timmy’s aunt is dying of cancer, guess where Timmy’s focus is?
Also, what are you doing about it then?
