After reading an article on Inhabitat.com about the how garbage effects our ocean I felt like never eating fish again. I had no idea that fish eat the plastic that gets thrown into the ocean and that this plastic contain chemicals we later consume after eating the toxic fish. This really got me thinking about why seafood is high in mercury. Because most likely the sea life have mercury inside them is because of the trash they eat. Surely fish do not contain mercury naturally.
However after reading the article about a 19 year old that developed a way to clean-up the oceans I felt a lot better. Its really amazing to see how this 19 year old put his time and hard work in developing a system that pulls plastic out of our oceans. In a way I felt inspired knowing that a 19 year old like me can make a difference in this world. Sure I'm not a genius that can develop ways to clean the oceans, but I can use my passion for acting and film to spread awareness about what plastic particles are doing to our fish and how it puts our health at risk.
