Dead Sperm Whale found with stomach full of plastic

[Catherine]

It seems that every day we are hearing about a marine mammal dead from some human cause, usually plastic.
This time it was a sperm whale.  It had many plastic cups in its stomach. It even had a pair of Flip Flops. Because the body was so decomposed it is not possible to prove the cause of death, but the presence of so much plastic is pretty suspicious.

The point is, we have an ocean emergency. Our sea mammal friends are dying at an alarming rate. It is not just that we need to clean up the plastic in the oceans. We need to stop throwing more into the oceans so they don't get worse. The whole planet needs to get involved in this. We all have a responsibility. We grew up using plastic and throwing it away. We didn't know any better. Now we do and we need to recycle and do whatever we can to help the clean up.
