There have been so many deaths by plastic in the ocean and we are the suppliers. More and more animals are showing up dead with bellies full of plastic. Global warming is also a very real issue. (In 2016, heat stress encompassed 51 percent of coral reefs globally and was extremely severe—the first mass bleaching (85 percent bleached) of the northern and far-northern Great Barrier Reef killed 29 percent of the reef's shallow water corals.- coast.NOAA.gov) This happening when the Oceans temperature raised only by 2 or 3 degrees in temperature. Think of it as a human body. The thing is is that a good portion of our world oxygen is from coral beds, The more they die the more we do.
