    the average person has very little way to reduce the number of plastic nets in the water

    Besides the obvious and 100% viable option of just not eating fish.

      The average person cannot make the connection between the food they eat and the animal it was. People act so appalled by the torturous conditions in animal farms, and then stop at McDonald’s on their lunch break to pick up some chicken nuggets, totally unaware of the irony

      Yeah eating fish is not sustainable, especially considering how global fish population is dropping rapidly. Sadly, my dad loves fish…

            Seems the problem is beyond finding a ‘cure-all’. Multiple strategies will be necessary.

                …which somehow doesn’t include producing less garbage?

                    An individual abstaining from owning slaves didn’t reduce slave populations either. Think they were as dumb and ineffectual as I am? Fine.
