  The number of plastic waste floating in the seawater is estimated to be 75 million tons, of which 60% should be floating in the sea. However, from the research so far, the total amount of plastics on the sea is only 0.44 million tons, 99% of the plastics is missing. But I think that most of the plastics should stay on the riverbed or coast, and the number of plastics floating on the sea surface is almost the same as the number of plastics floating in the sea or the seabed. Since microplastics are produced by deterioration of plastics due to ultraviolet rays and moisture that are exposed to them while they are staying on the riverbeds and coasts, I propose that people all over the world pick up garbage there once a year. In addition, among plastics, Styrofoam is apt to become likely microplastics, so I propose a ban on its production. If banned, I estimate that microplastics will be re.. Read More»
