Environmental Health.


The video I watched that caught my attention and was eye opening, they show different problems that we have in our society. The video "garbage island" showed all the trash that is disposed in the ocean, scientist Charles Moore sailed there in his boat. It is deep in the Pacific Ocean, it takes a week to arrive to the disposal area. He talked to doctors in Hawaii and said that all that disposal is linked to kidney failure and early stages of diabetes. Plastic is being thrown away and the marine animals are eating this stuff, than humans are consuming this stuff and eating eat.



The garbage is about the size of Texas
80% of garbage comes from land.
Dispose of less plastic.
Dispose of waste that it doesn't last for years in the ocean
