Abstract: Since the emergence of human beings, they have been exploring the world, exploring land, exploring the ocean, exploring the universe... The desire to seek knowledge and explore is also a major driving force for human survival and development. Nowadays, human beings have gone to heaven and earth to do everything, and the exploration of the universe is becoming more and more frequent, but we know very little about the ocean closest to us, and it can be said that exploring the depths of the ocean is as difficult as exploring the universe, but this still cannot stop human exploration.
The deepest trench in the world is the Mariana Trench, located in the northeast of the Philippines, near the Bottom of the Pacific Ocean near the Mariana Islands, the deepest depth of the trench is 6 to 11 kilometers, even in one of the world's most environmentally harsh regions, scientists from all over the world still work here.
In exploration, scientists have different "discoveries". In such places, plastic waste appears. Plastic waste is very visible in our daily lives, but it has to be pondered in the depths of the ocean. Plastic is difficult to degrade, and after human use and discarding, it becomes garbage that is incinerated or flows into the ocean, causing serious pollution to the overall ecological environment.
The ocean is the place where life originated and was conceived, and plastic waste flows into the ocean, and it is marine life and human beings themselves who are injured. Previously, there were reports that a large number of seabirds died because of swallowing plastic waste, and scientific research found that the smell emitted by the decomposition of plankton on the surface of plastic waste is similar to that of rotten seaweed, so seabirds such as albatrosses will mistake it for food, and these plastic garbage bring serious harm to their health.
Not only seabirds, but also turtles, penguins, fish, etc. will be attracted by the chemicals in plastic garbage, swallowed as food, and after being caught by fishermen, it is still humans themselves who are injured.
Since the industrial revolution, the world economy has developed rapidly, mankind has made unprecedented progress, but the progress brought about by industrialization has also made our ecological environment pay a huge price, producing a huge amount of garbage every year, but few can be recycled, and the rest is either incinerated or discharged into the ocean, etc., which is difficult to completely and effectively dispose of.
Not only garbage, factory exhaust gas, wastewater discharge, when you were a child, you can swim and catch fish in the clear creek, now it is black, smog, greenhouse effect, acid rain and other negative effects follow, ecological and environmental problems have even reached the point of deeply affecting our daily lives, fortunately, some countries in the world have begun to pay attention to and vigorously measures to solve environmental problems, but there are also some "churning sticks", only for their own national convenience and interests, regardless of the safety of neighboring countries and even the people of the world, hard to discharge nuclear wastewater into the ocean.
