Edward Humes Garabolgy Interview

This was very helpful into understanding the book a little better because he explains how he felt about the trash and well it is easier to read it when he is actually speaking. I can tell he is very passionate about garbage and how to end this endless nightmare of trash. Although he spoke about thing I have not read yet, I understood him very well. I found it sadly fascinating that the trash goes in the ocean too and it is harming the food chain. He explains how they have found plastic in the fish that eat the plankton type organism which is eating the plastic from what we throw about in our garbage. As I read on I started to freak out thinking about when I go have sushi...am I eating the fish that was eating the plastic? Then I read on and they were talking about how that was the fear for a lot of people. I also learned about Nurdle which is basically plastic of some sort but it can be the texture of fluid. They spoke about how you could see it as the beach in the sand. I started to ponder about the times i found pieces of plastic that i thought was a seashell, turns out its nurdle coming from the ocean. It is sad to think that our oceans are being filled with plastic. Humes explained that plastic was actually a way of reusing and was made to last forever and now it is one of the highest trash items in landfills. It has really opened by eyes to things I never even thought of that effect my life and everyone else's.
