INTERVIEW
Q. What do you already know about this subject?
A. I know that it’s one of the most serious issues that we have in our society at the moment, and it recently got more serious as we used more plastic with the start of covid.
Q. Why do you think that cleaning ocean pollution is important to the world right now?
A. The ocean is a major part of earth and a lot of places rely heavily on ocean produce. If those economies fail because of pollution, the world economy will essentially struggle.
Q. What do you think about using a lot of plastic products because of COVID-19?
A. I think that it was necessary to minimize the spread of covid, but it had a very negative effect and I wish that there was a better option. A better way would have been to eat less outside food that was dependent on plastics and wrappings.
Q. What will you do to lessen the trash in the ocean?
A. I will spread awareness for the amount of plastic that humans produce, and try to reduce the amount that I use personally. A little goes a long way :)
