eli5 Why shouldn’t we dump plastic in the ocean?

341 views

Why is it a good idea to collect plastic from the ocean and burn it rather than let it stay there until we have a better way to get rid of it?

Sure, the plastic is bad for sea life but the process of burning plastic is far worse, no?

Why shouldnt we just dump all plastic in the ocean until we know how to deal with it in a eco friendly way? It wouldn’t be pretty but maybe more safe for humanity and the planet in general considering climate change?

Thanks in advance!

Fishermen harvest fish from the oceans and the fish eat the plastic, so the plastic can end up in your food.
