This summer I was scuba diving in the Mediterranean and the ocean/sea is basically full of plastic literally everywhere.
I tried to pick every piece of it I saw but some would usually break into a million micro fibers and be impossible to catch by hand.
Was happy to see a couple doing the same thing tho, I think people are becoming increasingly Aware of the problem but governments and companies make it really hard To avoid plastic use. Maybe the EU will ban single Use plastic soon. But this is a World problem and so even that would not be enough. Makes me sad..
