Problem 2:  
Plastic in the oceans

Plastic bags, bottles, fishing nets - the increasing plastic in the oceans destroy the biological diversity on earth and the ocean eco-system further and soon there will be more plastic than fish swimming in the oceans.

Greenpeace estimates that currently over 150 million tonnes or even more of plasticis in the oceans. Over time the plastic falles apart into small particals, so called micro plastics. Scientists have found micro plastic particals in fish, mussels and grabs, where reproduction, immun system and important organs are damaged. From there, it is only a short way to travel into the human organism.

The main stream of plastic into oceans are via rivers of many countries. Here we need to start to make a difference and solving the issue.
