Chapter 6

In this chapter of Garbology  was one chapter that I think was just so interesting. Learning how our plastic is literally found everywhere around ourselves. The chapter starts our by introducing a women named Miriam Goldstein and her experience with nurdles. Nurdles are tiny, tiny pieces of trash that are flowing through the ocean and are getting into fish and potentially killing them. Before reading this chapter I had no idea about these nurdles. But when I started to read about it I realized when I would look on the beach I would see these types of particles on the shore. I remember wondering what they were and now that I know where they come from I'm realizing that its trash. Goldstein also told us that their was trash the size of Texas in the ocean. Reading about this and realizing how crazy that is, is jaw dropping. Goldstein also explains to us that thousands of mammals have been killed because of our trash. How selfish of us. Its sad to think that all of this plastic is because of companies. Companies who just want money for selling these products. I think its just so selfish of them and we need to change that.
