This is a very impactful video and certainly calls attention to the plight of marine life in our world. I would like to know more about what I can do to reduce the amount of packaging in products I buy. As the one gentleman said - we get excess packaging whether we like it or not. Who do I talk to about it? I feel like I would be a small voice compared to a large corporation like let's say - Sony. Where can I voice my concerns about plastic packaging overload?

There is a plastic garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean that now covers the size of the continent of Africa. If the production, consumption and waste of plastics continues at the present rate, this patch will double in size in ten years. Plastics are also sponges for extremely toxic substances such as DDT. Organisms consume the marine plastic, thinking it is food, fish eat the organisms, and so on up the food chain. This problem is one of the most pressing environmental concerns today.
