Chapter 6:

I seriously love how passionate and dedicated scientist Miriam Goldstein is about the research of plastic pollution in the ocean. She amazed me by how she gathered information for the project Kaisei which was mentioned in the previous chapter. Nobody knows where and when plastic has end up where it is now. Humes continues to show how concerned he is with plastic. I was happy to read that funds were going towards the research of garbage patches in the sea to get to the bottom of the situation and how we can help it stop it. How crazy is it to believe that there is a garbage patch that is Twice the size of Texas!! My eyes got huge when I read about that. Plastic has spread out to 1,200 miles! That is scary! I love animals... and it is so sad to see how plastic bags are floating around the ocean and are being eaten by turtles because they mistaken them for jellyfishes. Like I mentioned in the previous chapter, plastic has entered in our food chains. I like how Humes mentions that plastic investigators are more hardworking and kicka** because they have to do twice the work than an archaeologists and a paleontologists because they have no way of telling the age of plastic. I like how Goldstein says "We made it. We own it." because it is true! It is our mess and it is now our responsibility to clean it up instead of ignoring it hoping a miracle will happen.
