This article was very interesting and many things I read surprised me. I had heard the term “ocean deserts” before but didn’t know what they were. I had no idea about this phenomenon and I believe more people should become aware that this is happening as a result of global warming and pollution. I agree completely that an individual’s efforts to lower their carbon footprint in their daily life could make a large impact on these environmental issues. I didn’t know that China and San Francisco had banned plastic grocery bags, but I think more cities should take that step, especially in this age of environmental awareness. There is a reason for this global movement to “go green”: it’s a real issue with real consequences we will be paying for later. If everyone made a small effort to make our world environmentally friendly, the difference would be remarkable.
