We did this, more patterns. But who is ‘we’? I don’t know anybody who deliberately threw any plastic in the ocean. We can stop using plastic (although bacteria would eat it anyway, eventually), but will we ever understand how we ended up doing this? Who would the ‘we’ be that might understand anyway? And if we don’t know the answer, what’s to stop us doing something similar the next time? I don’t think plastic is the problem, the real problem is that we don’t know how ‘we’ end up creating this, because we is a bit of a mystery.
