Problem & Solution OrganizerTopic: Plastic Pollution in the Ocean
1. THE PROBLEMMillions of tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean each year, harming sea animals that eat or get tangled in it and breaking down into microplastics that enter the food chain.
↓
OPTION ABan single-use plastics. This cuts waste at the source, but it is hard to enforce and unpopular with some businesses.
OPTION BExpand recycling and cleanup programs. This removes existing plastic, but it is expensive and only treats the symptom.
OPTION CDevelop biodegradable packaging. This reduces lasting waste, but it costs more and is not yet widely available.
↓
2. FINAL SOLUTIONI believe banning single-use plastics is the best option. It stops the flow of waste at the source, which is better than just cleaning up existing trash. While it is hard to enforce, it is the only way to protect our oceans long-term.
