this was a recent news in the Philippines. 
That is a huge amount of plastic. It just shows that we really need to manage our plastic disposal properly. Some malls use paper on some days and also biodegradable plastics... but in the end it is in the disposal of garbage that matters. Many people here still throw garbage in the sea.

Many of us know that there is a continent of plastic in the sea the size of Australia. That´s what we do

Yeah, the whale looks like a huge trash bin caused of those garbage. It's really an awful site.

@lady1993 For sure. I can't imagine how bad it is to have garbage in my stomach.

I just wish everyone can be responsible where they disposed their garbage. I hope that the government have a clear law about this and also at home we can teach our children to be responsible about the matter.

That is awful the poor whale. Authorities really have a lot of clean up to carry out.

@lady1993 I have been here in Florida just a short while and I do not know how polluted the beach here is. I have not seen any garbage washed ashore so perhaps it is not so bad right here.

It is so sad that marine resources are very much affected by improper waste disposal particularly plastics.
