I am alarmed that in some areas of the Pacific, plastic trash outweighs plankton 6 to 1. I think it is both interesting and scary that fish eat plastic and absorb toxins from them, and then we eat the fish, possibly eating some of those toxins as well. I agree that banning bags statewide will help reduce the amount of trash in the Pacific in the future, but I wonder how we can help clean up all of the trash that is already in the ocean.
