Ch.6 response

 In chapter 6,  Humes talks about a scientist name Miriam Golstein who is part of a new army nerds taking on legions of nurdles.  Goldstein explains that people don't need to wait for more information to prevent waste because obviously people already know we should stop. I was surprise when Goldstein explains that the trash was easily to find in the ocean. Another was reason was that Goldstein describe the garbage as a floating island of debris that is twice the size of Texas. It's scary to know about chemicals clinging into plastic which are eating by fishes. Including the Gulf of Mexico oil spill that Goldstein mention can all harm our marine mammals in the ocean. It's really disappointed how Goldstein mention that hundred of thousand marine mammals had been killed every year because of our plastic. If plastic didn't exist from the past as Goldstein had said, then I believe would can shut down the consuming of plastic and live without it.
